Door Opening

NOTE
The refrigerator doors are designed to shut
by themselves within a 20 degree opening.
Your refrigerator should be positioned
to allow easy access to a counter
when removing food. For best use of
refrigerator drawers and freezer baskets,
the refrigerator should be in a position
where both can be fully opened.
Leveling Freezer Drawer
To level the freezer drawer:
1. Check gasket seal around top,
bottom, and sides of freezer drawer.
2. If gasket is not sealed, open drawer
and slightly loosen four drawer
screws (two on each side) to allow
drawer to rotate.

Level Refrigerator & Adjust Doors

Guidelines for final positioning of your
refrigerator:
• All four corners of the cabinet must rest
firmly on the floor.
• 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.
Most of these conditions can be met by
raising or lowering the adjustable front rollers.
To level the cabinet using the front
rollers:
1. Slightly open freezer drawer. Lift the
toe grille and gently pull forward (see
illustration).

2. You can raise or lower each door. Use
a ⅜ inch socket wrench to turn the
adjustment screws (one per side).
To raise: turn adjustment screw
clockwise.
To lower: turn adjustment screw
counterclockwise.
3. Ensure both doors are bind-free with
their seals touching the cabinet on all
four sides and that cabinet is stable.
4. After unit is leveled, lower anti-tip leg
until it contacts the floor.
