When moving your refrigerator

To prevent floor damage be sure the front leveling legs are in the up position(above the floor).

Refer to ‘ADJUSTING THE DOORS’ in the manual (at page 9)

FLOORING

For proper installation, this refrigerator must be placed on a level surface of hard material that is the same height as the rest of the flooring. This surface should be strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator, or approximately 660lbs(299kg). To protect the finish of the flooring, cut a large

section of the cardboard carton and place under the refrigerator where you are working. When moving, be sure to pull the unit straight out and push back in straight.
