Leveling and Door Alignmenf

Leveling

After installing, ptug the refrigerator's powercord into a 3-prong grounded outlet and pushthe refrigerator into the final position.

Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs--one on the right and one on the left. Adjust thelegs to alter the tilt from front-to-back or side-to-side. If your refrigerator seems unsteady, oryou want the doors to close more easily, adjustthe refrigerator's tilt using the instructionsbelow:

Door Alignment

Both the left and right refrigerator doors havean adjustable nut, located on the bottom hinge,to raise and lower them to align properly.If the space between your doors is uneven,follow the instructions below to align the doorsevenly:

Use the wrench (included with the Owner's

Manual) to turn the nut in the door hinge toadjust the height. Turn it to the right to raise orto the left to lower the height.

Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise

that side of the refrigerator or to the right

to lower it. It may take several turns of the

leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the

refrigerator.

_ NOTE

A flare nut wrench works best, but anopen-end wrench will suffice.Do not over-tighten.

Open both doors again and check to make

sure that they close easily. If the doors donot close easily, tilt the refrigerator slightlymore to the rear by turning both levelinglegs to the left. It may take several moreturns, and you should turn both levelinglegs the same amount.
