Before leveling, unplug the appliance
to avoid an electrical shock hazard. Never tip a refrigerator
or freezer, it is very heavy and can fall causing damage or
injury.
It is important for the freezer to be level.
If it is not level, doors may not open or close properly and
may not seal tightly. Also, drainage from the defrost cycle
might be impaired as might the ice making cycle. The appliance
was engineered based on it being installed in a level position.
While there may be some tolerance for out-of-level installation,
the appliance will operate at its best when properly leveled.
Place a level on top of the freezer near the front.
Do not put it on the door because the door may not be aligned with
the freezer case. Check that the freezer is level from left to
right. Also check that it is level from front to back.
If it is not level, adjust one or more of the
feet until it is level. The feet are bolts that can be turned
to raise or lower the appliance. If they cannot be adjusted
with your fingers, use a crescent wrench or pliers.
If you have an ice-maker, it should also be
checked for level after first leveling the appliance. It can
be repositioned by loosening the mounting screws, adjusting
it for level and then retightening the screws.
