Door Closing and Alignment

Door Closing

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers which are at the base of the refrigerator on either 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 into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

2.Move the refrigerator into its final position.

3.Remove the base grille and the bottom hinge covers (see

“Base Grille” section). The two roller adjustment screws are part of the front roller assemblies.

4.Use a screwdriver or ³⁄₈ in. hex driver to adjust the roller adjustment screws. Turn the roller adjustment screw to the right to raise that side of the refrigerator or turn the roller adjustment screw to the left to lower that side. It may take several turns of the roller adjustment screws to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the roller adjustment screws and rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.

(on some models)

Please read before using the water system.

Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make sure that the water system is properly cleaned.

1.Turn off the ice maker by opening the freezer door and lifting up the wire shutoff arm as shown.

2.Install the interior water filter cartridge. The interior water filter mounting bracket is located on the top right side of the refrigerator compartment.

NOTE: Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system.

■Remove blue bypass cap and retain for later use.

■Carefully remove the interior water filter cartridge from its packaging. Remove the sealing label from end of filter and insert into filter head.

■Gently rotate filter clockwise until filter stops, and snap filter cover closed.

1.Roller Adjustment Screw

2.Stabilizing Foot

5.Open both doors again and check to make sure that they close as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both roller adjustment screws to the right. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both roller adjustment screws the same amount.

6.Lower the stabilizing foot by turning it clockwise until it is firmly against floor.

NOTE: Drawer freezer models have a stabilizing foot on each side which must be lowered by turning clockwise.

7.Replace the base grille.

3.Flush the water system by dispensing and discarding 2 to 3 gal. (8 to 12 L) of water. Cleaning the system will take approximately 6 to 7 minutes and will help clear air from the line. Additional flushing may be required in some households.

NOTE: As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out of the dispenser.

4.Inspect the filter system for water leaks. If you see water leaks, see the “Troubleshooting” section.

5.Turn on the ice maker by opening the freezer door and lowering the wire shutoff arm as shown. Please refer to the “Ice Maker” section for further instructions on the operation of your ice maker.

■Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice.

■Discard the first three batches of ice produced.

The KitchenAid KBRA20ELBT0, along with its variants KBRA20ELWH0, KBRA20ELSS0, and KBLA20ELSS0, represents the epitome of modern refrigeration technology in bottom-mount refrigerator design. Combining style, functionality, and innovative features, these models are designed to meet the demands of contemporary kitchens while preserving food freshness and accessibility.

One of the standout features is the spacious interior layout which maximizes storage capacity. The bottom-mount design places the refrigerator section at eye level, allowing for easy access to frequently used items while the freezer section is located beneath. This configuration minimizes bending and stretching, thus enhancing convenience in day-to-day use.

Equipped with the Advanced Cooling System, the KBRA20EL series maintains optimal temperature and humidity levels. The system utilizes a combination of precise cooling technology and active temperature management to ensure that food stays fresher for longer. This technology monitors conditions within the refrigerator to minimize temperature fluctuations, which is critical for preserving perishables.

The installation of the FreshChill Temperature Management System further enhances usability by allowing users to customize the temperature settings for different compartments. Additionally, the Produce Preserver feature helps to extend the life of fruits and vegetables by absorbing ethylene gas, which can hasten spoilage.

These models feature a sleek, stainless steel exterior that not only enhances aesthetic appeal but also provides ease of cleaning. The fingerprint-resistant finish ensures that the surface remains smudge-free, which is particularly important in high-traffic kitchens.

Another valuable characteristic is the LED lighting embedded within the refrigerator compartments. This energy-efficient lighting provides bright and clear visibility, making it easy to locate items even in the back of the shelves.

Additionally, the KBRA20EL series includes multiple adjustable shelves and door bins, allowing for flexible storage solutions. The clear shelves make it easy to spot items, reducing the likelihood of food items being lost in the back of the fridge.

In essence, KitchenAid’s KBRA20ELBT0 and its counterparts showcase a sophisticated blend of advanced technology, user-friendly design, and increased storage capabilities. These bottom-mount refrigerators are an ideal choice for homeowners looking to elevate their kitchen experience while ensuring their food stays fresh and accessible. Whether it's the stylish finishes, innovative cooling technology, or versatile storage options, this series is crafted to meet the modern kitchen's needs and demands.
