Remove the Handles

1. While holding the handle, insert the short end of the hex key
into a setscrew hole and slightly rotate the hex key until it is
engaged in the setscrew.
2. Using a right to left motion loosen the setscrew a quarter-turn
at a time.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other setscrew. Slowly pull the
handle away from the door or drawer.
4. If necessary, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the shoulder
screws from the door.
2. Move the refrigerator to its final location.
3. Lower the brake feet, by turning them clockwise, until the
rollers are off the floor and both brake feet are snug against
the floor. This keeps the refrigerator from rolling forward when
opening the refrigerator doors or freezer drawer.
IMPORTANT: If you need to make further adjustments
involving the brake feet, you must turn both brake feet the
same amount to keep the refrigerator level.
