LEVELING LEGS

Adjustable legs at the front corners of the refrigerator 

should be set so the refrigerator is firmly positioned  

on the floor, and the front is raised just enough that  

the door closes easily when opened about halfway.
To adjust the leveling legs, turn the legs counterclockwise to 

raise the refrigerator, clockwise to lower it.
