Door Alignment

A refrigerator that is not level from side-to-side may appear to
have doors that are not properly aligned. If the doors appear this
way, use the instructions in the previous section to check the
leveling.
The doors are designed to be slightly different heights when the
refrigerator is empty, in order to account for the weight of food
that will be placed on the doors. If the doors are still not aligned
after checking the leveling and loading the refrigerator with food,
follow the steps below to adjust the door alignment.
1. If necessary, open both doors to 90° and remove the base

grille.

2. Locate the alignment screw on the bottom hinge of the

refrigerator door.

3. Use a

⁵⁄₁₆" open-ended or adjustable wrench to turn the screw.

To raise the refrigerator door, turn the screw to the right. To
lower the door, turn the screw to the left.

4. Check that the doors are even at the top. If necessary,

continue to turn the alignment screw until the doors are
aligned.

5. Open both doors to 90°. Replace the base grille.

Install Air Filter

(on some models)

On some models, your refrigerator's accessory packet includes
an air filter, which must be installed prior to use. On some models,
the air filter is already installed at the factory.

The air filter reduces the buildup of odors. This helps to maintain a
cleaner environment inside the refrigerator.

Installing the Air Filter (on some models)

The filter should be installed behind the vented door, which is
located (depending on your model) along either the rear or left
interior wall near the top of the refrigerator compartment.

1. Remove the air filter from its packaging.
2. Lift open the vented door.
3. Snap the filter into place.

4. Close the vented door.

Installing the Filter Status Indicator (on some models)

The filter comes with a status indicator, which should be activated
and installed at the same time the air filter is installed.

1. Place the indicator face-down on a firm, flat surface.
2. Apply pressure to the bubble on the back of the indicator, until

the bubble pops to activate the indicator.

3. Lift open the vented air filter door. On some models, there are

notches behind the door.

4. On models with notches:

Slide the indicator down into the notches, facing outward.

NOTE: The indicator will not easily slide into the notches
if the rear bubble has not been popped.

Close the air filter door, and check that the indicator is
visible through the rectangular hole in the door.

On models without notches:

Store the indicator in a visible place you will easily
remember - either inside the refrigerator, or elsewhere in
your kitchen or home.
