Leveling and Door Closing
Your refrigerator has two front adjustable wheels. See graphic 1.
These are used to level the refrigerator under uneven oor
conditions or allow the doors to close more easily. Please follow
the instructions below:
1. Use a Bubble level to check levelness of oor where the
rear side of the refrigerator will rest. If the refrigerator is not
leveled, adjust or add the shim on ooring to create a leveled
oor for the rear side wheels. A leveled rear side prevents the
refrigerator cabinet from forming a twist.
2. Place the refrigerator into its nal location in the kitchen and
open both doors.
3. Fully open both doors. See graphic 1.
