If the refrigerator is not leveled during installation, the
doors may not close or seal properly, causing cooling,
frost, or moisture problems. It is very important for the
refrigerator to be level in order to function properly.
Move the refrigerator into its final position. Use a level
on top of the refrigerator to check that it is level from
side-to-side. Next, open both doors completely and
release them. The doors should close on their own. If the
doors do not close automatically or the refrigerator is not
level side-to-side, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the
instructions below U:
1. Roll out the refrigerator and use a level to check the
floor at the back from side-to-side. If needed, use shims
to level the back of the refrigerator if it is uneven. Roll
the refrigerator back into place with the rear rollers
on top of any shim(s) used so that the rear of the
refrigerator is level.
2. With the rear already level and the refrigerator in place,
use the front leveling screws _ to level the refrigerator
from side-to-side. Open the refrigerator door and
remove the base grille to find the two leveling, screws.
They are part of the front roller assemblies _ which
are found at the base of the refrigerator on either side.
3. To level your refrigerator, you may either turn the
screw clockwise to raise _ that side of the refrigerator
or turn the screw counterclockwise to lower _ that
side. Place a level on top of the refrigerator to check
adjustments. Use a screwdriver _ to adjust the
leveling screw.
HOWE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws
and rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.
