Care Manual. Before starting the appliance,
follow these important first steps.

Leveling
Rest all bottom feet firmly on a
solid floor.
The floor must be strong enough to support
a fully loaded appliance.
It is VERY IMPORTANT for your unit to be
level in order to function properly. If the
appliance is not leveled during installation,
the door may be misaligned and not close
or seal properly, causing cooling, frost or
moisture problems.
To Level the Appliance:
Level the unit using a carpenter’s level.
Adjust the leveling feet at the front making
minor adjustments to the rear leveling feet
as needed. Level the unit front to back and
side to side. Make sure all 4 feet fully touch
the floor.
