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.

sufficient space on the hinge side to allow the door
to swing open enough to access the clear bins in the
refrigerator compartment.

UNPACKING YOUR REFRIGERATOR

from your refrigerator. Tape or glue residue can also be
removed by rubbing a small amount of liquid dish soap
over the adhesive with your fingers. Wipe with warm
water and dry.
• Do not use sharp instruments, rubbing alcohol,
flammable fluids, or abrasive cleaners to remove tape
or glue. These products can damage the surface of your
refrigerator.

beyond 45° from upright position.
