Leveling and door
alignment
Leveling the refrigerator properly will help the doors to
close and seal tightly enough to prevent any cooling, frost
or moisture problems. It is important for the refrigerator to
be level for it to operate properly.
1. Plug refrigerator power cord into grounded outlet. Move
refrigerator into place. Remove base grille by grasping
each side and pulling forward. Remove hinge cover.
Place base grille and hinge cover aside on protected
surface.
2. Place a level on top of refrigerator cabinet at the back
and front of cabinet and check that cabinet is level from
side to side. If you do not have a level, open doors and
release doors without shutting them. The doors should
close on their own if refrigerator is level.
If rear of refrigerator is not level, move refrigerator
out of position and disconnect power cord. Check that
the floor is level. If floor is not level, place shims where
rear rollers will be until floor is level. Plug power cord
