HOW TO LEVEL THE REFRIGERATOR
If the Refrigerator is put on a fl oor that is not level,
it can cause a height difference between the doors.
• Insert a Flat-Head (-) Screwdriver into the slot in
the Leveling Leg Control Lever and adjust the
level by turning the Control Lever clockwise or
counter-clockwise. When you rotate the Lever
clockwise, you raise the refrigerator. When you
rotate the Lever counter-clockwise, you lower
the refrigerator.

• If the Refrigerator is not level back and
front, put a solid panel (such as a plastic
panel, a plastic ruler, etc.) on the fl oor
where the rear legs will rest, and then fi x
it in place with plastic tape. When you
push in the Refrigerator, make sure the
rear legs rest on the panel.
• If you have a wooden fl oor or similar soft
fl oor, take care not to damage the fl oor
when pushing the Refrigerator into place.
HOW TO ADJUST THE DOOR
HEIGHT
If any one of the doors is lower than
the other:
• Check if the Refrigerator is level
before adjusting the door.
• Adjust the door height difference
by inserting a Snap Ring (
shown between the door and the
hinge. You can use the rings on the right side
door of the fresh food compartment and both
sides of the freezer compartment.
• After checking the height difference, select one
Snap Ring with a suitable thickness. Insert one
Snap Ring only, Inserting two or more Snap
Rings may cause the Snap Rings to slip out or
make a rubbing noise.
• Lift up the lower door and insert the Snap
Ring into the space between the Door and the
Hinge.
• To avoid injury, insert or remove Snap
Rings carefully.
CAUTION
• Keep the Snap Rings out of the reach of
children and make sure that children do
not play with them or put them into their
mouths.
• Two 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, and 2.5 mm
Snap Rings come with the Refrigerator.
• If the Refrigerator is level before you
load it with food, the Refrigerator may
become unbalanced due to the weight
of the food. If this occurs, adjust the level
again using the same procedure.
• If you raise the door too far, it can rub
against the Top Cover.
