Style 2—with Grille
Your freezer has 2 front adjustable legs — one on each side. The
back of the freezer rests on 2 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
you are 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.

the freezer. As shown in the illustration,
cool air enters from the freezer wall and
moves down. The air then recirculates
through the vent near the bottom.
Do not block any of these vents with
food packages. If the vents are blocked,
airflow will be restricted and temperature
and moisture problems may occur.
IMPORTANT: To avoid odor transfer and
drying out of food, wrap or cover foods
tightly.

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.
