Leveling Refrigerator

Your refrigerator has a front and rear roller at the base of the
product on each side. All four rollers can be adjusted from the
front of the product. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you
want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using
the instructions below:

1. Check the installation location to be sure that you have the

proper clearance for the refrigerator. (See the “Location
Requirements” section.)

2. Plug into a grounded (earthed) outlet.

3. Move the refrigerator into its final position.

4. Open the refrigerator and freezer doors to locate the leveling

bolts at the left and right of the refrigerator base. If your
refrigerator has a base grille, remove it (see “Base Grille”
earlier in this section).

NOTE: The yellow (top) bolt will adjust the rear of the
refrigerator, and the silver (bottom) bolt will adjust the front of
the refrigerator.

5. Use a

¹⁄₂ in. (12.70 mm) socket wrench to adjust the leveling

bolts. Turn the leveling bolt to the right to raise that side of the
refrigerator or turn the leveling bolt to the left to lower that
side. It may take several turns of the leveling bolts to adjust
the tilt of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Be careful not to unscrew the leveling bolts too much
when lowering the refrigerator. The bolt head will start to
come away from the refrigerator when in the lowest position.
If the screw does come out of the rear roller bracket, the
compartment access cover on the back of the refrigerator will
have to be removed to reinstall the bolt.
