LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT
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" wrench or fiat blade
screwdriver.
1. Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of
the refrigerator
or to the right to lower it. It may take
several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the
refrigerator.
Door Alignment
The left refrigerator
door has an adjustable
nut, located
on the bottom
hinge, to raise and lower the door for
proper alignment.
If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the
instructions
below to align the doors evenly=
Use the wrench (included
with the Use & Care Guide) to
turn the nut in the door hinge to adjust the height. To the
right to raise or to the left to lower the height.
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 to the left. It may take several more
turns, and you should turn both leveling legs the same
amount.
NOTE:
Your refrigerator
is uniquely
designed
with
two fresh food
doors.
Either
door
can be opened
or
closed
independently
of the other.
You may
have to
exert
slight
pressure
on the doors
to get them
to close
completely.
The right refrigerator door does not have an adjustable
nut.
if the space between your doors is uneven, follow the
instructions below to align the right door:
1. With one hand, lift up both the inner and outer door
sections of the right door to raise them at the middle
hinge. (Opening
the door may make lifting
it easier)
2. With the other hand, use pliers to insert the snap
ring on the middle
hinge of the inner door section
as shown. Do not insert the ring on the hinge of the
outer door section.
.
Insert additional
snap rings until the right door is
aligned.
(Two snap rings are provided
with the unit.)
