Leveling
The appliance must have all bottom corners
resting firmly on a solid floor. The floor must be
strong enough to support a fully loaded unit.
 NOTE
It is VERY IMPORTANT for your appliance to
be level in order to function properly. If the unit
is not leveled during installation, the door/lid may
be misaligned and not close or seal properly,
causing cooling, frost or moisture problems.
To level Upright Units:
After discarding crating screws, use a carpenter's
level to level the appliance from front to back.
Adjust the plastic leveling feet in front, ½ bubble
higher, so that the door closes easily when left
halfway open.
To level Chest Units:
If needed, add metal or wood shims between
feet pads and floor.
