freezer drawer.
2. If gasket is not sealed, open drawer and slightly
loosen four (4) drawer screws (two (2) on each side)
to allow drawer to rotate.
3. Close drawer and recheck the seal on the gasket (A).
Open the drawer grabbing by the sides in the center
(B). Be careful not to rotate the drawer.
4. Tighten four (4) drawer screws.
5. Recheck gasket seal.
