Level and Align Refrigerator WARNING Tip Over Hazard Refrigerator is top heavy and tips easily when not completely installed. Keep doors taped closed until refrigerator is completely installed. Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death or serious injury. IMPORTANT: All four leveling legs must contact the floor to support and stabilize the full weight of refrigerator. Rollers are for moving the refrigerator, not for permanent support. After moving the refrigerator to its final location: 1. Use a 5/16" socket driver to turn the leveling bolts clockwise to extend the legs to the floor as shown. The rollers should be off the floor. Install Overlay Series Custom Panels WARNING Excessive Weight Hazard Use two or more people to move and install panels. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.
