Positioning And Leveling The Refrigerator - Sears Kenmore ELITE 41002 Guía Para El Uso Y Cuidado

POSITIONING AND LEVELING THE
REFRIGERATOR
Now that the refrigerator has been assembled and
connected to a water supply source, position and level the
the refrigerator.
The refrigerator has three front leveling legs--one on the
right, one on the left, and one in the middle. Adjust legs to
alter tilt from front to back or side to side. If the
refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to
close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the
instructions below:
NOTE: Make sure the location meets all the requirements
listed on page 9.
1. Move the refrigerator into its final position.
2. Open the refrigerator and freezer doors and remove
the 3 screws and the front leg cover.
3. Place a level on the lower shelves or drawer covers.
Check to make sure the refrigerator and freezer
sections are level from side to side and front to back.
NOTE: Having someone push backward against the
top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the
leveling legs. This makes it easier to adjust the legs.

If it is not level, adjust the front leveling legs until the
refrigerator is level. Using a flat-head screwdriver, turn
the leg counterclockwise to extend the leg and raise
the refrigerator at that point. Turn the leg clockwise to
retract the leg and lower the refrigerator at that point.
It may take several turns of the leveling leg to adjust
the tilt of the refrigerator.
