LEVELING AND DOOR CLOSING

To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled. If necessary, adjust the Leveling Legs to compensate for unevenness of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than the rear to aid in door closing.

Your refrigerator has two Front Leveling Screws - one on the right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions below:

1.Plug refrigerator power cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet. Move the refrigerator into its final position.

2.Remove the base grille. See BASE GRILLE INSTRUCTIONS. The two Leveling Screws are located on the bottom of the refrigerator on either side.

3.Insert a flat screwdriver in slots to adjust the Leveling Screws. Turn the leveling screw clockwise to raise the side of the refrigerator or counterclockwise to lower it. It may take several turns of the Leveling Screw to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

instructions below to align the doors:
