Installation Instructions

ROLLERS

The rollers have 3 purposes:

Rollers adjust so the door closes easily

when opened about halfway. (Raise the front about 5/8[16 mm] from the floor.)

Rollers adjust so the refrigerator is firmly positioned on the floor and does not wobble.

Rollers allow you to move the refrigerator away from the wall for cleaning.

Final leveling adjustments should be made after the refrigerator has been installed.

To adjust the rollers on 23models:

Remove the base grille by opening the doors, removing the screws at each end, and pulling it straight out.

Turn the front roller adjusting screws clockwise to raise the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it. Use

a 3/8hex socket

 

Roller adjusting screws

or wrench, or an

 

 

adjustable wrench.

 

These models also have rear adjustable rollers so you can align the refrigerator with your kitchen cabinets. Use a long- handled 5/16socket wrench to turn the screws for the rear rollers—clockwise to raise the refrigerator, counterclockwise to lower it.

Replace the base grille.

DOOR ALIGNMENT

After leveling, make sure that the refrigerator door is 1/16higher than the freezer door.

To align the doors, adjust the refrigerator door.

Using a 7/16socket wrench, turn the door adjusting screw to the right to raise the door, to the left to lower it. (A nylon plug, imbedded in the threads of the pin, prevents the pin from turning unless

a wrench is used.)

After one or two turns of the wrench, open and close the refrigerator door and check the alignment at the top of the doors.
