Adjust the Doors

Your refrigerator has two adjustable rollers located at the base of
the refrigerator. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want
the door to close more easily, use the instructions below.
1. Remove the base grille. Grasp the grille firmly and pull it
toward you.
2. Using a ³⁄₈" hex driver, turn the roller adjustment screw on
each side to raise or lower that side of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the adjustment screws and
rollers. This makes it easier to turn the screws. It may take
several turns of the roller adjustment screw to adjust the tilt of
the refrigerator.
To raise, turn the roller adjustment screw to the right.
To lower, turn the roller adjustment screw to the left.
Turn the brake foot clockwise until it is firmly against the floor
to keep the refrigerator from rolling forward when the freezer
drawer is pulled open.

3. Open the door again to make sure that it closes as easily as
you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by
turning both leveling screws clockwise. It may take several
more turns, and you should turn both screws the same
amount.
4. Replace the base grille.

Water System Preparation

Please read before using the water system.
Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make
sure that the water system is properly flushed.
1. Turn off the ice maker by switching the ice maker control to
OFF.

2. Install the interior water filter. The interior water filter mounting
bracket is located on the left side wall of the refrigerator
compartment.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
Remove the blue bypass cap and retain for later use.
Remove the water filter from its packaging. Remove the
sealing label from the end of the filter and insert it into the
filter head.
Gently rotate the filter clockwise until it stops. Then, snap
the filter cover closed.
3. Press the Water button on the dispenser control panel. Use a
sturdy container to depress and hold the dispenser lever for
5 seconds, then release it for 5 seconds. Repeat until water
begins to flow. Once water begins to flow, continue
depressing and releasing the dispenser lever (5 seconds on,
5 seconds off) for an additional 2 minutes. This will flush air
from the filter and water dispensing system. Additional
flushing may be required in some households. As air is
cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the
dispenser.
NOTE: After 5 minutes of continuous dispensing, the
dispenser will stop dispensing water to avoid flooding. To
continue dispensing, remove the container and press the
dispensing lever again.
4. Inspect the filter system for water leaks. If you see water
leaks, see the "Troubleshooting" section.
5. Turn on the ice maker switching the ice maker control to ON.
Please see "Ice Maker" for further instructions on the
operation of your ice maker.
Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.
Discard the first three batches of ice produced.
