LEVEL THE REFRIGERATOR

The refrigerator can be leveled by
adjusting the rollers located near the
bottom hinges.
Rollers have three purposes:
• Rollers adjust so the door closes easily
when opened about halfway. (Raise the
front about 5/8" [16 mm] from the floor.)
• Rollers adjust so the refrigerator is
firmly positioned on the floor and does
not wobble.
• Rollers allow you to move the
refrigerator away from the wall for
cleaning.
To adjust the rollers on 23' (33" wide),
25', 26', 27' and 29' models:
• Turn the roller
adjusting screws
clockwise to
raise the
refrigerator,
counterclockwise
to lower it. Use
a 3/8" hex socket
or wrench, or
an adjustable
wrench.
