CLEARANCES
Leveling legs
near each front corner of the refrigerator
DUHDGMXVWDEOH7KH\¿UPO\SRVLWLRQWKHUHIULJHUDWRUDQG
prevent it from moving when the doors are opened.
Leveling legs should be set so the front of the refrigerator
is raised just enough that the doors close easily when
opened about halfway.
Turn the leveling legs
clockwise to raise
the refrigerator,
counterclockwise to lower it
.
Rollers
next to the leveling legs allow you to move the
refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning.
Turn the legs counterclockwise until the weight of the
refrigerator is transferred from them to the rollers. After
rolling the refrigerator back into place, turn the legs
clockwise until the legs again bear the weight of the
refrigerator.
ROLLERS AND LEVELING LEGS
If the refrigerator has an icemaker, it will have to be
connected to a cold water line. A water supply kit
