Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers located at the base of the refrigerator. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the door to close more easily, use the instructions below.

3.Using a screwdriver or ³⁄₈" hex driver, turn the roller adjustment screw on each side to raise or lower that side of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the adjustment screws and rollers. This makes it easier to turn the screws It may take several turns of the roller adjustment screw to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

To raise, turn the roller adjustment screw to the right.
