Transport Unpackaged Refrigerator To Site
By now, you have already removed your refrigerator's shipping carton.
You may still need to use a hand truck to move it through close spaces or
entrances. If the refrigerator is larger than an entrance, consider two options:
• Remove the entrance door if one exists.
• Remove the refrigerator doors (see how in your Use & Care Guide).
When using a hand truck:
• Load refrigerator from side of cabinet only.
• Do not run retaining straps over handles.

NOTE
NOTE
• The ice maker's fill valve may operate noisily if the household water supply is shut off.
• After ensuring no water leaks exist at any connection, be sure to check for leaks again in 24 hours.
• See your Use & Care Guide for detailed information about setting up and operating the Ice &
Water Dispensing system.

Place In Permanent Position
CAUTION
If possible, use a hand truck to position the refrigerator directly in front of its cabinet enclosure.
Be careful not to move the refrigerator beyond its water supply (copper tubing) connections.
Plug in the power cord, and push the refrigerator
straight back into place.
IMPORTANT
If you are installing your refrigerator without
connecting it to a water supply, make sure the ice
maker's power switch is turned Off (see the Use &
Care Guide for more details).

Level Refrigerator & Adjust Doors
Guidelines for final positioning of your refrigerator:
• All four corners of the cabinet must rest firmly on the floor.
• The cabinet should be level at the front and rear.
• The sides should tilt ¼-inch (6 mm) from front to back (to
ensure that doors close and seal properly).
• Doors should align with each other and be level.
CAUTION
To level the cabinet using the front rollers:
1 With both doors closed, unfasten right and left side
clips of toe grille from bottom hinge groove Open both
doors. Press firmly on top of toe grille until top of toe
grille pops off. Pull toe grille outward toward your body and off of lower
hinges. (See illustration 1.)
2 Close the doors and use a flat-blade screwdriver or
inch socket wrench to raise or lower the front rollers. (See
illustration 2.)
3 Ensure both doors are bind-free with their seals touching the
cabinet on all four sides.
To level the doors using the adjustable lower hinge:
1 Before leveling either door, remove set screw that locks door height into position. (The door
cannot be adjusted without set screw removed.)
2 If the refrigerator door is lower than the freezer door, raise the refrigerator door by turning
the adjustment screw clockwise using a
3 If the freezer door is lower than the refrigerator door, raise the freezer door by turning the
adjustment screw clockwise using a
4 After leveling, verify door stop contacts lower hinge and top of door does not contact upper
hinge through full movement of door (from fully closed to fully open). (See illustration 4.)
5 Reinstall set screw, locking the door height.
6 To replace the toe grille, open both doors. Slide left and right sides of toe grille over lower
hinges of refrigerator. While pushing toe grille firmly against cabinet, fasten bottom clips of
toe grille to cabinet. Fasten top clips to cabinet. Close the doors. Fasten right and left side
clips into groove of bottom hinge.
This document should only be removed by customer after installation.
CAUTION
• Shifting the refrigerator from side
to side may damage flooring.
• Do not block the toe grille on the
lower front of your refrigerator.
Sufficient air circulation is essential
for proper operation.

Problems? Try These Suggestions
Operation problems are possible if any of the installation tasks are not completed. Here is a list
of things to check for:
• Is the refrigerator's power cord plugged in?
• Is the refrigerator connected to the household water supply?
• If you had to remove the refrigerator and freezer doors, did you reattach water and power
connectors at the door hinges? (See the Use & Care Guide for detailed instructions on
removing and replacing doors.)
• Is the ice maker power switch turned On?
Other possibilities to check:
• Is the power to the receptacle turned on?
• Is the water filter above the fresh food compartment fully seated (see Use & Care Guide for details)?
If you still have operation problems after checking these suggestions, please see the "Solutions
To Common Problems" section in your Use & Care Guide.
