ADJUSTING THE LEVEL

Make sure the refrigerator is level so that you can make fi nal adjustments. Use a level to test if the refrigerator is level both side to side and back to front. If the refrigerator is not level, it will not be possible to get the doors perfectly even, which may cause moisture condensation and increased energy bills. Below is an example of how to level the refrigerator if the left side of the refrigerator is lower than the right side.

How to adjust the level

1.Open the freezer drawer and remove the lower basket.

2.Insert a fl at-blade screwdriver (-) into a notch on the left control lever, and turn it count clockwise to level the refrigerator. (You turn the lever clockwise to lower the refrigerator and counterclockwise to raise it.)

Both control levers must be touching the CAUTION fl oor to avoid possible personal injury or

property damage because of tipping.

If the right side is lower, perform the same procedure, but with the right control lever.

It is diffi cult to remove the cover leg front from the refrigerator, so we do not recommend making small adjustments with the control lever. Instead, refer to the next page for the best way to make minor adjustments to the doors.
