Adjustable Legs
(on Upright models)
Legs at the front corners of the freezer
should be set so the freezer is firmly
positioned on the floor, and the front is
raised just enough so the door closes easily
when opened about halfway.
The freezer must be solidly positioned on the floor if
it is to function at its best. Shims may be used to
accomplish this wherever the floor is too uneven. If
the place selected for the freezer is damp or moist,
place 2 X 4's (51 mm X 102 mm) under its entire
length to assure adequate support.
