If your refrigerator seems unsteady or if you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the level and tilt of the refrigerator. 1. Turn the leveler to the left to raise that side of the refrigerator or to the right to lower that side. It may take several turns to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

It may take several more turns. NOTE: To keep the refrigerator level, make the same adjustment to each side. 3. Using a level, make sure the refrigerator is still level from side to side.
