WARNING
Stable Footing
When your refrigerator is in place, you
need to stabilise it. Lift the front of the
refrigerator to take the weight off each
stability foot and make small quarter
turns to each foot until it is in firm
contact with the floor. If you intend to
move the refrigerator, remember to
wind up each foot so that you can
move it freely. Repeat the process of
the foot adjustment once you have
settled on the new location of the
refrigerator.
