LEVELING
(AFTER MOVING TO FINAL LOCATION)
✔ To steady or adjust the tilt of the refrigerator,
you must first remove the base grille:
Use a 1/4" hex driver to remove both screws in base
❑
grille.
Grasp the grille firmly and pull it toward you. Open the
❑
freezer drawer to access the brake feet.
Steady the Refrigerator
✔ If the refrigerator seems unsteady or rolls when the
door(s) or drawer(s) are pulled open:
Using a 1/4" hex driver, turn both brake feet clockwise the
❑
same amount until the brake feet are snug against the floor.
Use a level to make sure the refrigerator is level from side
❑
to side and front to back.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of
the refrigerator takes some weight off the brake feet,
making it easier to turn the feet.
Replace base grille.

❑
Flush 3 gallons of water through the water system to clear
❑
air from the water line and to keep the dispenser from
dripping and/or avoiding decreased dispenser flow.

dispense at a lower flow rate and there will be slower ice
production. Improper filter installation may also cause the
water filter housing to leak.
