Freezer Leveling and Door Closing

Style 1—Without Grille

1. Locate the two front leveling legs taped among the packing

materials.

2. Screw these legs into the front holes on the bottom of the freezer.

The back of the freezer rests on two fixed supports.

3. Adjust the front legs enough to lift the cabinet up off the floor.

4. Place a leveling tool on top of the freezer first side to side, then

front to back. Turn leg counterclockwise to raise a corner. Turn leg

clockwise to lower a corner.

5. Repeat Step 4 until freezer is level.

6. After freezer is fully loaded with food, recheck with level as in

Step 4.

Style 2—With Grille

Your freezer has two front adjustable legs, one on each side. The back

of the freezer rests on two fixed rollers. The base grille covers the

adjustable brake feet and roller assemblies located at the bottom of the

freezer below the freezer door. Before making any adjustments, remove

the base grille and move the freezer to its final location.

Tools Needed: ¹⁄₄" hex driver, Phillips head screwdriver

1. Remove the base grille screws. Grasp the grille firmly and pull it

toward you. Open the freezer door to access the brake feet.

NOTE: To allow the freezer to roll more easily, raise the brake feet

by turning them counterclockwise. The front rollers will be touching

the floor.

2. Move the freezer to its final location.

3. Lower the brake feet, by turning them clockwise, until the rollers

are off the floor and both brake feet are snug against the floor. This

keeps the freezer from rolling forward when opening the freezer

door.

IMPORTANT: If you need to make further adjustments involving the

brake feet, you must turn both brake feet the same amount to keep

the freezer level.

4. Make sure the door closes easily. If you are satisfied with the door

opening and closing, skip the next section. If, however, the door

does not close easily or the door pops open, adjust the tilt.

To Adjust the Cabinet Tilt:

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the freezer takes some

weight off the brake feet. This makes it easier to turn them.

■ Open the freezer door. Use a ¹⁄₄" hex driver to turn both brake feet

clockwise the same amount. This will raise the front of the freezer. It

may take several turns to allow the door to close more easily.

5. Make sure the freezer is steady. If the freezer seems unsteady or

rolls forward when the door is pulled open, adjust the brake feet.

To Steady the Freezer:

■ Open the freezer door. Using a ¹⁄₄" hex driver, turn both brake

feet clockwise the same amount until the brake feet are snug

against the floor. Check again. If not satisfied, continue to adjust

the brake feet by half turns of the screw until the freezer does

not roll forward when the door is opened.

6. Replace the base grille by aligning the ends of the grille with the

leveling assemblies on each side and snapping the grille into

place. Reinstall the Phillips screws.
