This will restrict how far the door can be opened but the furniture can still be removed (see diagrams below). - Page 4 Levelling: Level the freezer when it is in its final location by adjusting the front feet, until firm contact is made with the floor. This will stop rocking or vibration and keep the door aligned which helps the freezer run reliably and efficiently.
