LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT

Leveling

After installing, secure the product with the LEG not to move left or right.

Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs--one on the right and one on the left. Adjust legs to alter tilt from front- to-back or side-to-side. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions below:

1.Plug the refrigerator's power cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet. Move the refrigerator into its final position. Remove the base cover.

To remove the base cover

1.Open the Freezer Drawer. (Drawer not shown for clarity.)

2.Once drawer is open there is sufficient clearance to remove screws on top of cover.

To replace base cover:

• Place cover into position and insert and tighten.

2.Turn the leveling leg clockwise to raise that side of the refrigerator or counterclockwise to lower it. It may take several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

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

3.Open both doors again and check to make sure that they close easily. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling legs clockwise. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both leveling legs the same amount.

4.Re-adjust if necessary.

5.Replace the base cover.

NOTE: Your new refrigerator is uniquely designed with two fresh food doors. Either door can be opened or closed independently of one another. You may have to exert slight pressure on doors to get them to close completely.

Door Alignment

If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the instructions below to align the doors:

1.With one hand, lift up the door you want to raise at middle hinge.

2.With other hand, use pliers to insert snap ring as shown.

3.Insert additional snap rings until the doors are aligned. (Three snap rings are provided with the refrigerator in the Use & Care Guide packet.)

Level the refrigerator by using an 11/32 inch (8mm) wrench or a flat blade screw driver,

Turn the leveling legs (CCW) to raise or (CW) to lower the height of the front of the refrigerator,

NOTE: The front of the refrigerator should be slightly higher than the back.
