Adjust the Doors

Depending on your model, your refrigerator may have four adjustable rollers (Style 1) or a leveling screw (Style 2) located at the base of the refrigerator. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the door to close more easily, use the instructions below.

1.Remove the base grille. Grasp the grille firmly and pull it toward you.

2.Raise or lower the cabinet.

Style 1 - Front and rear leveling

Using a ³⁄₈" hex driver, turn the roller adjustment screw(s) on each side to raise or lower that side of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the adjustment screws and rollers. This makes it easier to turn the screws. It may take several turns of the roller adjustment screw to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

■To raise, turn the roller adjustment screw to the right.

■To lower, turn the roller adjustment screw to the left.

Turn the brake foot clockwise until it is firmly against the floor to keep the refrigerator from rolling forward when the freezer drawer is pulled open.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws. This makes it easier to turn the screws. It may take several turns of the leveling screw to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

4.Replace the base grille.

REFRIGERATOR USE

Opening and Closing Doors

There are two refrigerator compartment doors. The doors can be opened and closed either separately or together.

There is a vertically-hinged seal on the left refrigerator door.

■When the left side door is opened, the hinged seal automatically folds inward so that it is out of the way.

■When both doors are closed, the hinged seal automatically forms a seal between the two doors.
