LEVELLING THE CABINET

The word 'level' is somewhat of a misnomer, as a 'spirit level' need not be used to set the appliance level. It
is preferable to have the appliance level in appearance where both doors will close with the aid of the door
closing components. It is also important that the appliance sits solidly on the floor.
Cabinet levelling
adjustment of the front roller-levelling
wheel fitted ex factory.
Weight should be lifted off the cabinet for
ease of adjustment.
The product should be levelled with the
majority of the weight on the right hand
hinge side front foot.
The opposite side of the front foot should
then be adjusted to stabilise the product.
Measure the gap between the roller and
the floor. This distance should be the depth
of the rear packing material.
Cut the solid packing material to the depth
and place the material against the wall and
push the product on top of material.
Unlevelled floors:
Gently push the refrigerator back until the
rear rollers contact floor.
Measure the gap under the front foot,
which has come off the floor.
Obtain some solid
(hardwood, plastic etc), which fits firmly
into the gap under the foot.
Note: do not use metallic materials that
may corrode and stain or damage floor
coverings.
