ASSEMBLE THE FREEZER DRAWER
To reattach the drawer after you have moved the
fridge to its final location, assemble parts in reverse
order.
ADJUSTING THE LEVEL
Make sure the refrigerator is level so that you can
make final adjustments. Use a level to test if the
refrigerator is level both side to side and back to front.
If the refrigerator is not level, it will not be possible
to get the doors perfectly even, which may cause
moisture condensation and increased energy bills.
Below is an example of how to level the refrigerator if
the left side of the refrigerator is lower than the right
side.
How to adjust the level
1. Open the freezer drawer
and remove the lower
basket. (See to page 7)
2. Remove the two screws
( 1 ) attached to the cover
leg front ( 2 ) with a Philips
screwdriver (+).
3. Remove the cover leg front
( 2 ) by lifting the bottom
part of the cover leg front
up and pulling it out.
4. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver (-) into a notch on the
left control lever, and turn it count clockwise to level
the refrigerator. (You turn the lever clockwise to lower
the refrigerator and counterclockwise to raise it.)
Both control levers must be touching the floor
to avoid possible personal injury or property
damage because of tipping.
If the right side is lower, perform the same
procedure, but with the right control lever.
It is difficult to remove the cover leg front from the
refrigerator, so we do not recommend making
small adjustments with the control lever. Instead,
refer to the next page for the best way to make
minor adjustments to the doors.
MAKING MINOR ADJUSTMENTS
BETWEEN DOORS
Remember, a leveled refrigerator is necessary for
getting the doors perfectly even. If you need help,
review the previous section on leveling the refrigerator.
The left door is fixed. To make minor adjustments
between doors, adjust only the right door.
1. Pull out the freezer drawer ( 1 ), then you can see
the lower hinge ( 2 ).
2. Insert the supplied allen wrench(3/16”) ( 3 ) into the
shaft ( 4 ) of the lower hinge.
3. Please adjust the height by turning the hex wrench
( 3 ) clockwise ( DOWN ) or counter-clockwise ( UP ).
When you turn the hex wrench counter-
clockwise(
), the door will move up.
1. After adjusting the doors, insert the supplied
fastener ( 6 ) using a pliers ( 5 ) in the gap between
the hinge-grommet ( 7 ) and the lower hinge
( 8 ). The number of fasteners you’ll need to insert
depends on the gap.
2 fastener are enclosed with the refrigerator.
The thickness of each fastener is 0.04”.
