on a solid floor. The floor must be strong enough to support a
fully loaded refrigerator.

for your
refrigerator to be level in order to function properly. If the
refrigerator is not leveled
during installation, the
door may be misaligned
and not close or seal
properly, causing
cooling, frost, or moisture
problems.
