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
clockwise to
raise
the refrigerator,
counterclockwise to lower
it.
