3. Adjust the rear leveling bolt to bring the refrigerator level with
the side cabinets or cabinet end panels.

hinge and the cabinet opening. Check that all four leveling
legs still touch the floor and that the cabinet doors above the
refrigerator open all the way.
Replace Base Grille

2. Replace the base grille. Place the lower clips into the bottom
of the refrigerator and roll the grille up until it snaps into place.
Door Height Adjustment
TOOLS NEEDED: ⁵⁄₁₆" or adjustable wrench.
IMPORTANT: Models are preset with a quarter's-thickness
(approximately 1.75 mm) difference in door height and may not
need adjusting.
If necessary after the refrigerator is loaded with food, follow the
steps below to adjust the door height up or down.
1. Locate the height adjustment bolt on the bottom hinge of the
refrigerator door.
NOTE: For easier access to the height adjustment bolt, the
refrigerator door should be closed.
2. Turn the height adjustment bolt using the ⁵⁄₁₆" or adjustable
wrench.
To raise the height, turn the bolt to the right (clockwise).
To lower the height, turn the bolt to the left
(counterclockwise).
3. Check that the doors are even at the top and bottom. If
necessary, continue to turn the height adjustment bolt.
Complete Installation
1. On some models, turn water supply line valve to "Open"
position.
2. Turn refrigerator switch to ON position. Wait a few minutes.
On some models, check water line connections for leaks.
3. Set refrigerator and freezer compartment controls to the
midpoint setting. Check that the compressor is operating
properly and that all lights are working.
4. On some models, flush water system before using. See
"Prepare the Water System."
NOTE: If construction will continue after refrigerator has been
installed, set controls to OFF.
If refrigerator does not operate

REFRIGERATOR USE

Using the Controls
Style 1
Temperature Control Adjustment and Cooling Off
The refrigerator and freezer control buttons are located on the
dispenser panel.
To turn cooling off, press and hold the TEMP button for
3 seconds. Press either "+" button repeatedly until all dashes (---)
appear on the temperature display. Your refrigerator and freezer
will not cool when cooling is off.
For your convenience, your refrigerator and freezer controls are
preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make
sure that the controls are still set to the "mid-settings."
To view set points, press the TEMP button on your dispenser
panel. The factory recommended set points are -18°C for the
freezer and 3°C for the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
Wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator. If you
add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your
food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the set points to a higher (colder) than
recommended setting will not cool the compartments any
faster.
If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or
freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not
blocked before adjusting the controls.
