Adjust the Doors

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers – one on the right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions below.

Depending on your model, your refrigerator may have leveling legs (Style 1) or leveling screws (Style 2). They are part of the front roller assemblies which are found at the base of the refrigerator on either side.

1.Turn the leveling legs or leveling screws to the right to raise that side of the refrigerator or to the left to lower that side. It may take several turns to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws and rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.

2.Open both doors again and be sure that they close as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling screws to the right. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both leveling screws the same amount.

3.Using a level, be sure that the refrigerator is still level side to side. Readjust if necessary.

REFRIGERATOR USE

Using the Control

The temperature control is located at the top of the refrigerator compartment. It controls the temperature in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

For your convenience, the Temperature Control is preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the control is still preset to the mid-setting as shown.

NOTE: To turn your refrigerator off, turn the refrigerator control to the word OFF or until the word OFF appears. Your product will not cool when the refrigerator control is set to OFF.

IMPORTANT:

■Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator.

■If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil. Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

Adjusting Controls

The mid-setting indicated in the previous section should be correct for normal household usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked.

If you need to adjust temperatures, use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments and then recheck the temperatures.
