Freezer Leveling and Door Closing

Style 2—with Grille

Your freezer has 2 front adjustable legs — one on each side. The 
back of the freezer rests on 2 fixed rollers. The base grille covers 
the adjustable brake feet and roller assemblies located at the 
bottom of the freezer below the freezer door. Before making any 
adjustments, remove the base grille and move the freezer to its 
final location.

Tools Needed:

 ¹⁄

4

" hex driver, Phillips head screwdriver

1.

  Remove the base grille screws. Grasp the grille firmly and pull 

it toward you. Open the freezer door to access the brake feet.

NOTE: 

To allow the freezer to roll more easily, raise the brake 

feet by turning them counterclockwise. The front rollers will be 
touching the floor.

Style 1—without Grille

1.

  Locate the 2 front leveling legs taped among the packing 

materials.

2.

  Screw these legs into the front holes on the bottom of the 

freezer. The back of the freezer rests on 2 fixed supports.

3.

  Adjust the front legs enough to lift the cabinet up off the floor.

4.

  Place a leveling tool on top of the freezer 

first side to side, then front to back. Turn leg 
counterclockwise to raise a corner. Turn leg 
clockwise to lower a corner. 

5.

  Repeat Step 4 until freezer is level.

6.

  After freezer is fully loaded with food, 

recheck with level as in Step 4.
