REFRIGERATOR SAFETY
Your safety and the safety of others are very important.
We have provided many important safety messages in this manual and on your appliance. Always read and obey all safety
messages.
This is the safety alert symbol.
This symbol alerts you to potential hazards that can kill or hurt you and others.
All safety messages will follow the safety alert symbol and either the word "DANGER" or "WARNING."
These words mean:
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't immediately
follow instructions.
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don't follow
instructions.
All safety messages will tell you what the potential hazard is, tell you how to reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can
happen if the instructions are not followed.

Excessive Weight Hazard
Use two or more people to move and install
refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
IMPORTANT:
• Always lay the refrigerator on its left side during the leveling
leg installation. If you lay the refrigerator on its back, you can
damage the refrigerator.
• Never place refrigerator on its top. It may damage the
compressor.
4.

the floor.
6.
Adjust the legs to level the refrigerator:
• Turn the leveling leg to the right to lower that side of the
refrigerator.
• Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of the
refrigerator.
NOTE: You can install either the leveling legs or the casters on
your refrigerator. Shims can be placed under the casters to level
a refrigerator that has casters installed.
Door Closing
Your refrigerator has four leveling legs. If your refrigerator seems
unsteady or you want the door to close more easily, adjust the
refrigerator tilt using the instructions below:
1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2. Move the refrigerator into its final location.
3. Turn the leveling leg to the right to lower that side of the
refrigerator or turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side.
It may take several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of
the refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling legs. This
makes it easier to adjust the screws.
4.
Open the door again and check to make sure that it closes as
easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the
rear by turning both leveling screws to the right. It may take
several more turns, and you should turn both leveling screws
the same amount.
