Leveling
After installing, plug the refrigerator's power
cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet and push
the refrigerator into the final position.
Your refrigerator 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 refrigerator seems unsteady, or you
want the doors to close more easily, adjust the
refrigerator's tilt using the instructions below:
NOTE: Tools Required: 11/16" (18mm) wrench
or flat blade screwdriver.
1 Turn the leveling leg counterclockwise
to raise that side of the refrigerator or
clockwise 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 of the
leveling legs. This makes it easier to adjust the legs.

2 Open both doors again and check to make
sure that they close easily. If the doors do
not close easily, tilt the refrigerator slightly
more to the rear by turning both leveling
legs counterclockwise. It may take several
more turns, and you should turn both
leveling legs the same amount.
Door Alignment
If the doors are still uneven after the refrigerator
has been leveled, finish adjusting the doors by
following the instructions below:
Adjusting tools: 5/16" (8mm) wrench and 3/4"
(19mm) wrench.
