LEVELING LEGS

Adjustable legs

at the front corners of the refrigerator

should be set so the refrigerator is firmly positioned on
the floor, and the front is raised just enough that the
door closes easily when opened about halfway.

To adjust the leveling legs,

turn the legs clockwise to

raise

the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it.
