INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
4. Make sure the doors close easily. If you are satisfied with the
door opening and closing, skip the next section and go to
"Align the Doors." If, however, the doors do not close easily or
the doors pop open, adjust the tilt.
To Adjust the Cabinet Tilt:
Open the freezer drawer. Use a 1/4" hex driver to turn
■
both brake feet clockwise the same amount. This will raise
the front of the refrigerator. It may take several turns to
allow the doors to close easier.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the brake feet. This makes
it easier to turn them.

between the bottom of the refrigerator doors and the top of
the freezer drawer is even. If necessary, align the doors.
To Align the Doors:
Keeping both refrigerator doors closed, pull out the freezer
■
drawer. Locate the bottom hinge pin of the right-hand
refrigerator door. The alignment screw is inside the bottom
hinge pin.
Insert the short end of the 1/8" hex- key wrench (packed
■
with the Door Handle Installation Instructions) into the
bottom hinge pin until it is fully engaged in the alignment
screw.
To raise the refrigerator door, turn the hex key to the right.

6. Make sure the refrigerator is steady. If the refrigerator seems
unsteady or rolls forward when the door or drawer is pulled

A
brake feet clockwise the same amount until the brake feet
are snug against the floor. Check again. If not satisfied,
continue to adjust the brake feet by half turns of the screw
until the refrigerator does not roll forward when the drawer
is opened.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the brake feet. This makes
it easier to turn the screws.
7. Replace the base grille by aligning the ends of the grille with
the leveling assemblies on each side and snapping the grille
into place.
