REFRIGERATOR LEVELING

upper drawer and lower drawer basket to gain access.
2.
Using the wrench provided, turn the leveling leg
clockwise to lower and counterclockwise to raise the
front corners of the refrigerator.
3.
Install the lower drawer basket and upper drawer,
then open and close the freezer compartment several
times to make sure operation is smooth and without
hindrance.

Adjusting the freezer drawer
If the freezer drawer is lower on one side than the other,
perform the steps listed below to raise that side. To access
the adjustment components, first pull the drawer out to full
extension. then remove the pullout drawer and the freezer
basket.
1.
Loosen the four screws on the rail bracket on the side
where adjustment is needed.
2.
Unscrew and remove Stopper from the lower position
(left picture) and screw Stopper into the upper position
(right picture). The stopper will serve as a fixed edge
against which to turn the Position Knob to adjust the
height of the rail bracket.
3.
Slightly pull the Position Knob forward and firmly
rotate it to a different position, then release the knob
back into place. The knob surfaces push against the
edge of the stopper ring to vary the height of the
rail bracket. The maximum adjustment variance is
approximately 1/8 inch.
Note:
If the Stopper does not jut out far enough to
make contact with the Position Knob, insert one
or two flat washers beneath the Stopper
4.
Retighten the four rail bracket screws.
5.
Reinsert the freezer basket and pullout drawer.
When inserting the basket, make sure that the tabs at
the front of the basket fit into the slots on the freezer
drawer rails.
