compensate for unevenness of the floor. The
front should be slightly higher than the rear to
aid in door closing. Leveling screws can be
turned easily by tipping the cabinet slightly. Turn
the leveling screws clockwise ( ) to raise the
unit, counterclockwise ( ) to lower it.

temperature is between 13°C and 43°C. If the
temperature around the appliance is too low or
high, cooling ability may be adversely affected.

may result in lowered
freezing capability and
increased electricity
consumption charges.
