Leveling legs near each front corner of the refrigerator 
DUHDGMXVWDEOH7KH\¿UPO\SRVLWLRQWKHUHIULJHUDWRUDQG

prevent it from moving when the doors are opened. 

Leveling legs should be set so the front of the refrigerator 

is raised just enough that the doors close easily when 

opened about halfway.
Turn the leveling legs clockwise to raise the refrigerator, 

counterclockwise to lower it.
Rollers next to the leveling legs allow you to move the 

refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning.
Turn the legs counterclockwise until the weight of the 

refrigerator is transferred from them to the rollers. After 

rolling the refrigerator back into place, turn the legs 

clockwise until the legs again bear the weight of the 

refrigerator.

ROLLERS AND LEVELING LEGS

If the refrigerator has an ice maker, it will have to be 

connected to a cold water line. A water supply kit
