The base grille covers the leveling screws and roller assemblies
located at the bottom of the refrigerator cabinet below the freezer
drawer. Before making adjustments, remove the base grille and
move the refrigerator to its final location.
1. Remove the base grille. Grasp the grille firmly and pull it
toward you.
2. Move the refrigerator to its final location.
NOTE: To allow the refrigerator to roll easier, raise the
leveling legs off the floor by turning the leveling screws
counterclockwise. The front rollers will be touching the floor.
3. So the doors will close easier, use a 1/4" hex driver to turn
both leveling screws clockwise. This will raise the front of the
refrigerator tilting it slightly downward to the rear. Turn both
leveling screws the same amount.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator
takes some weight off the leveling screws. This makes it easier
to turn the screws.

leveling screws the same amount.
