screws (see Figure A), turning clockwise to raise the

side of the refrigerator and counter-clockwise to lower

you would like.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the

refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws.

This will make it easier to adjust the screws.

they close easily. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more

may take several more turns, and you should turn both

leveling screws the same amount.
