The base grille covers the leveling screws and roller assemblies
located at the bottom of the refrigerator cabinet below the freezer
door or drawer. Before making adjustments, remove the base
grille and move the refrigerator to its final location.

cabinet, and set the screws aside. Grasp the grille and pull it
toward you.
2. Move the refrigerator to its final location.
NOTE: To allow the refrigerator to roll easier, raise the
leveling legs off the floor by turning the leveling screws
counterclockwise. The front rollers will be touching the floor.

refrigerator tilting it slightly downward to the rear. Turn both
leveling screws the same amount.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws. This
makes it easier to turn the screws.

automatically folds inward so that it is out of the way.
When both doors are closed, the hinged seal automatically
