Adjust the Doors
Door Closing
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.
IMPORTANT: To comply with American Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines, fully retract the rollers into the cabinet to lower the refrigerator.
1.Remove the base grille. See the Base Grille graphic in “Refrigerator Doors.” The two leveling screws are part of the front roller assemblies which are at the base of the refrigerator on either side.
2.Use a socket driver to adjust the leveling screws. Turn the leveling screw to the right to raise that side of the refrigerator or turn the leveling screw to the left to lower that side. It may take several turns of the leveling screws 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 which makes it easier to adjust.
3.Open both doors again to make sure 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.
NOTE: To keep the refrigerator level, you should turn both leveling screws the same amount.
4.Replace the base grille.
Align Doors
If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it using the instructions below:
1.Pry off the top hinge cover.
2.Loosen the top hinge screws using a ⁵⁄₁₆" socket or wrench.
3.Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer between the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws.
4.Replace the top hinge cover.
Install Air Filter
(on somemodels)
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.
Air Filter Status Indicator (on some models)
Style 1 - Install Manual Air Filter Status Indicator
The filter comes with a status indicator, which should be activated and installed at the same time the air filter is installed.
REPLACE
MONTHS
1.Place the indicator
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.
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.
