Rollers

allow you to move the refrigerator away from the

wall for cleaning.
Leveling Legs

near each front corner of the refrigerator,

next to the rollers, should be adjusted if any of the
following occurs:
• Refrigerator wobbles due to front roller not being firmly

positioned on the floor.

• Door(s) do not close easily when opened to 45°.
NOTE:
BEFORE moving the refrigerator away from the wall,

be sure to turn the leveling legs counterclockwise so that
the weight of the refrigerator is fully transferred to the
front rollers.

• The refrigerator will not be level from front to back. It

will have a slight backward tilt for proper door-closing.

To adjust the leveling legs,
turn the two front leveling
legs clockwise to raise the
front of the refrigerator and
counterclockwise to lower

it.
