Filters And Accessories; Water Filtration System - Kenmore 596.7238 Series Use & Care Manual

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 door, turn the hex key to the right.
To lower the door, turn the hex key to the left.
Continue to turn the alignment screw until the doors are
aligned.
6. Make sure the refrigerator is steady. If the refrigerator
seems unsteady or rolls forward when a door or drawer is
pulled open, adjust the brake feet.
To Steady the Refrigerator:
Open the freezer drawer. Using a ¹⁄₄" hex driver, turn
both 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.
