3. HOW TO INSTALL THE REFRIGERATOR
1. Leveling
After installing, plug the refrigerator's power cord into a 3-prong
grounded outlet and push the refrigerator into the final 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" (18mm) wrench or flat blade
screwdriver.
1. Turn the leveling leg counterclockwise to raise that side of the
refrigerator or clockwise 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 counterclockwise. It
may take several more turns, and you should turn both leveling
legs the same amount.
DOOR ALIGNMENT
If the doors are still uneven after the refrigerator has been
leveled, finish adjusting the doors by following the instructions
below.

Using a 3/4" (19mm) wrench, turn the keeper nut clockwise to
loosen the keeper nut.
Using a 5/16" (8mm) wrench, turn the adjustment hinge pin
clockwise or counterclockwise to level the refrigerator and
freezer door.
After leveling the door, turn the keeper nut counterclockwise to
tighten it.
CAUTION:
Do not overtighten the door adjustment screw. The
hinge pin can be pulled out. (The adjustable range of height is a
maximum of 2" [5 cm]).
The height of the freezer door can also be adjusted by inserting a
maximum of three snap rings (two rings are included with this
owner's manual). To insert, open the freezer door and lift it at the
lower hinge. Use a pliers to insert the ring on the lower hinge pin.
