Leveling it
Move the refrigerator into it’s final position. Use a level
and check that refrigerator is level. Do this before

of these, follow the directions below.

the bottom screw will control the front of the refrig-
erator. The screws on the right side will control the
refrigerator section and the screws on the left will
control the freezer section.
3. Check the refrigerator with a level after it is adjusted.
4. If it is level, replace the base grille.
IMPORTANT: If refrigerator is not level because of
uneven flooring, use shims under the rollers to level it.
