Leveling and Door Alignment

Leveling

After installing, plug the fridge's power cord
into a 3-prong grounded outlet and push the
fridge into the final position.
Your fridge 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 fridge seems unsteady, or you want the
doors to close more easily, adjust the fridge's
tilt using the instructions below:
1
Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that
side of the fridge or to the right to lower it.
It may take several turns of the leveling leg
to adjust the tilt of the
fridge.
NOTE
A flare nut wrench works best, but an
open-end wrench will suffice.
Do not over-tighten.
2
Open both doors again and check to make
sure that they close easily. If the doors do
not close easily, tilt the fridge 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.

Door Alignment

The left fridge 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.
The right fridge 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.
3
Insert additional snap rings until the right door
is aligned. (Two snap rings are provided with
the unit.)
