Leveling The Refrigerator; Adjusting The Doors - KitchenAid 2003 M Technical Education

LOWERING THE LEVELING LEGS
All four leveling legs must contact the floor to
support and stabilize the full weight of the
refrigerator. Rollers are for moving the refrig-
erator, and not for permanent support.
Use a socket wrench to turn the leg levelers on
both sides of the refrigerator to the right (clock-
wise) until the refrigerator weight is supported
by the legs. The rollers should be off the floor.
To avoid cabinet damage, do not apply more
than 50 in/lbs (58 cm/kg) of torque to the
leveling legs.

ADJUSTING THE DOORS

Door Alignment
Use the following steps to adjust the door
alignment to the left, right, in, or out.
1. Inspect the spacing of the gap between
the freezer and refrigerator doors. Make
sure that the spacing between the doors is
the same distance at the top and bottom.
1. Uneven door gap
2. If the door gap is uneven, loosen the four
T27 flat-head mounting screws on top of
both hinges. Loosen the screws to the
point that the hinge is movable, but there
is friction when trying to move the hinge.
NOTE: Do not loosen the two 1/4" hex-
head mounting screws.
