LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT

Leveling
After installing, secure the stability of the product
with the leveling legs.
Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs—one on
the right and one on the left. Adjust legs to alter tilt
from front-to-back or side-to-side. If your refrigerator
seems unsteady or you want the doors to close
easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the
instructions below:
1. Plug the refrigerator's power cord into a 3-prong
grounded outlet. Move the refrigerator into its final
position. Remove the base cover.
To remove the base cover
1) Open the Freezer Drawer. (Drawer not shown
for clarity.)
2) Once the drawer is open and there is sufficient
clearance, remove screws on the top of the
cover.
To replace base cover:
• Place cover into position and insert and tighten
the screws.
2. Turn the leveling leg clockwise to raise that side of
the refrigerator or counterclockwise to lower it. It
may take several turns of the leveling leg to adjust
the tilt of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push backward against
the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off
the leveling legs. This makes it easier to adjust the
legs.

3. Open both doors again and check to make sure
that they close easily. If not, tilt the refrigerator
slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling
legs clockwise. It may take several more turns,
and you should turn both leveling legs the same
amount.
4. Re-adjust if necessary.
5. Replace the base cover.
NOTE: Your new refrigerator is uniquely designed
with two fresh food doors. Either door can be
opened or closed independently of one another.
You may have to exert slight pressure on doors to
get them to close completely.
Door Alignment
If the space between your doors is uneven, follow
the instructions below to align the doors:
Use the wrench (Included with the Use & Care
Guide) to adjust the nut in the door hinge to adjust
the height. (counterclockwise to raise or clockwise to
lower the height.)
Level the refrigerator by using an 11/16 inch
(18mm) wrench or a flat blade screwdriver.
Turn the leveling legs (counterclockwise) to raise
or (clockwise) to lower the height of the front of the
refrigerator.
NOTE: The front of the refrigerator should be
slightly higher than the back.
