INSTALLATION

NOTE

The refrigerator doors are designed to shut by

themselves within a 20 degree opening.

6 Replace the toe grille by fitting it into place

(see “Toe Grille Installation and Removal” in the

“Installation” section).

To level the doors using the adjustable lower

hinge (some models):
1 Before leveling either door, remove set screw that

locks door height into position. (The door cannot

be adjusted without set screw removed).

2 If the refrigerator door is lower than the freezer

door, raise the refrigerator door by turning the

adjustment screw clockwise using a

7

/

16

inch

wrench. (See illustration.)

3 If the freezer door is lower than the refrigerator

door, raise the freezer door by turning the

adjustment screw clockwise using a

7

/

16

inch

wrench. (See illustration.)

4 After leveling, verify door stop contacts lower hinge

and top of door does not contact upper hinge

through full movement of door (from fully closed to

fully open).

5 Reinstall set screw, locking the door height.

Door Opening

Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy

access to a counter or table when removing food. For

best use of drawers and freezer baskets, the refrigerator

should be in a position where both the refrigerator and

freezer doors can be fully opened.

Guidelines for final positioning of your

refrigerator:

• All four corners of the cabinet must rest firmly on

the floor.

• The cabinet should be level at the front and rear.
• The sides should tilt ¼ inch (6 mm) from front to

back (to ensure that doors close and seal properly).

• Doors should align with each other and be level.

All of these conditions can be met by

raising or lowering the adjustable front

rollers.

To level the cabinet using the front rollers:
1 Open both doors and remove the toe grille (see

Toe Grille Installation and removal” in the

Installation” section).

2 Close the doors and use a flat-blade screwdriver or

3

/

8

inch socket wrench to raise or lower the front

rollers.

3 Ensure both doors are bind-free with their seals

touching the cabinet on all four sides.
