INSTALLATION

ENGLISH

Leveling and Door Alignment

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:

1

Remove the base grille. Refer to the Base
Grille Installation section.

2

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.

3

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 to the left. It may take several more

turns, and you should turn both leveling

legs the same mount.

4

Replace the base grille.

NOTE

A flare nut wrench works best, but an

open-end wrench will suffice.

Do not over-tighten.

Door Alignment

Both the left and right refrigerator doors have

an 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 doors

evenly:
Use the wrench (included with the Owner’s

Manual) to turn the nut in the door hinge to

adjust the height. To the right to raise or to the

left to lower the height.
