Moving the Refrigerator
Be careful when moving the refrigerator away from the wall.
All types of floor coverings can be damaged, particularly
cushioned coverings and those with embossed surfaces.
Turn the leveling legs at each front corner of the refrigerator

the refrigerator straight out and return it to position by pushing
it straight in. Moving the refrigerator in a side direction may
result in damage to the floor covering or refrigerator.
When pushing the refrigerator back, make sure you don’t roll
over the power cord or ice maker supply line (on some models).
After rolling the refrigerator back into place, turn the legs
clockwise until the legs again bear the weight of the refrigerator.
