Door Closing

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers – one on the right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions below.

1.Use a level to check the floor at the back from side to side. If needed, use shims to level the back of the refrigerator if it is uneven.

WARNING

Electrical Shock Hazard

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

Do not remove ground prong.

Do not use an adapter.

Do not use an extension cord.

Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.

2.Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.

WARNING

Excessive Weight Hazard

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in back or other injury.

3.Roll the refrigerator into place with the rear rollers on top of any shim(s) used so that the rear of the refrigerator is level.

4.Use the bottom leveling screws to level the refrigerator from side to side. They are part of the front roller assemblies, which are found at the base of the refrigerator on either side.

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

5.Depending on your model, to level your refrigerator you may either turn the screw clockwise to raise that side of the refrigerator or turn the screw counterclockwise to lower that side. Place a level on top of the refrigerator to check adjustments.

6.If the doors do not close on their own, you will need to raise the front of the refrigerator so it is slightly higher than the back. To do this, turn both leveling screws clockwise ¹⁄₂ turn.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to turn both screws an equal amount or the refrigerator will no longer be level side to side.

7.Open both doors again and check to make sure that they close as easily as you like. If not, repeat steps 3 and 4.

8.Using a level, check to see that the refrigerator is still level side to side. Readjust if necessary.

REFRIGERATOR USE

Using theControl

The temperature control is located at the top of the refrigerator compartment. It controls the temperature in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments.

For your convenience, the Temperature Control is preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the control is still preset to the mid-setting as shown.

NOTE: To turn your refrigerator off, turn the refrigerator control to the word OFF or until the word OFF appears. Your product will not cool when the refrigerator control is set to OFF.

5 coldest

IMPORTANT:

Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food into the refrigerator.

If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil. Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster.
