REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION
LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT
Leveling
After installing, plug the refrigerator's power cord into a
3-prong grounded outlet and push the refrigerator into the
fi nal position.
Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs—one on the
right and one on the left. Adjust the legs to alter the tilt
from front-to-back or side-to-side. If your refrigerator
seems unsteady, or you want the doors to close more
easily, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions
below:
NOTE: Tools Required: 11/16" wrench or fl at blade
screwdriver.
1. Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of
the refrigerator or to the right to lower it. It may take
several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the
refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push backward against the top of
the refrigerator takes some weight off of the leveling legs.
This makes it easier to adjust the legs.
2. Open both doors again and check to make sure that
they close easily. If the doors do not close easily, tilt
the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning
both leveling legs to the left. It may take several more
turns, and you should turn both leveling legs the same
amount.
NOTE: Your refrigerator is uniquely designed with
two fresh food doors. Either door can be opened or
closed independently of the other. You may have to
exert slight pressure on the doors to get them to close
completely.
Door Alignment
The left refrigerator door has an adjustable nut, located
on the bottom hinge, to raise and lower the door for
proper alignment.
If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the
instructions below to align the doors evenly:
Use the wrench (included with the Use & Care Guide) to
turn the nut in the door hinge to adjust the height. To the
right to raise or to the left to lower the height.
The right refrigerator door does not have an adjustable
nut.
If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the
instructions below to align the right door:
1. With one hand, lift up the door to raise it at the
middle hinge.
2. With the other hand, use pliers to insert the snap
ring as shown.
3. Insert additional snap rings until the right door is
aligned. (Three snap rings are provided with the
unit.)
