Level Refrigerator & Adjust Doors (if

Guidelines for final positioning of your refrigerator:
• All four corners of the cabinet must rest firmly on the
floor.
• The sides should tilt 1/4 inch (6 mm) from front to
back (to ensure that doors close and seal properly).
• Doors should align with each other and be level.

Most of these conditions can be met by raising or lowering
the adjustable front rollers.
To level the cabinet using the front rollers:
1. Slightly open freezer drawer. Lift the toe grille and
gently pull forward (see illustration).
2. You can raise or lower each door. Use a 3/8 inch
socket wrench to turn the adjustment screws (1 per
side).
To raise: turn adjustment screw clockwise.
To lower: turn adjustment screw counterclockwise.
3. Ensure both doors are bind-free with their seals
touching the cabinet on all four sides and that
cabinet is stable.
4. After unit is leveled, lower anti-tip leg until it
contacts the floor.
