Door Closing and Alignment

Door Closing

NOTE: There are 4 bolts located in the crisper. These are the leveling legs.

If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the refrigerator’s tilt using these instructions.

1.Screw the legs all the way into the bolt holes in the bottom corners of the refrigerator.

2.Move the refrigerator into its final location.

3.Lower the legs enough to lift the cabinet off the floor.

4.Adjust the legs to level the refrigerator:

■Turn the leveling leg to the right to lower that side of the refrigerator.

■Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of the refrigerator.

5.Check with a level.

6.Open and close both doors to make sure they swing properly. 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 the front leveling screws clockwise

¹⁄₂ turn.

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

7.Open the doors and check that they close automatically. If not, repeat steps 5 and 6.

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

Door Alignment

If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it using the instructions below.

1.Pry off the top hinge cover.

2.Loosen the top hinge screws using a ⁵⁄₁₆" socket or wrench.

3.Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer between the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws.

4.Replace the top hinge cover.

REFRIGERATOR USE

Using theControl

When you plug in the refrigerator for the first time, set the Temperature Control to MEDIUM. Temperature Control adjustments range from MINIMUM (warmest) to MAXIMUM (coldest).

IMPORTANT:

■Turning the Temperature Control to OFF stops cooling in the refrigerator and freezer compartments, but it does not disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply.

■The Temperature Control regulates the temperature in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Settings to the left of the mid-setting make the temperature less cold. Settings to the right of the mid-setting make the temperature colder.

■Wait 24 hours before you put food into your refrigerator. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil.

NOTE: Adjusting the Temperature Control to a higher (colder) setting will not cool the compartments any faster.

■The mid-settings should be correct for normal household usage. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm.

■If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator or freezer, before adjusting the controls, first make sure the air vents are not blocked.

Adjusting Controls

NOTE: Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments and then recheck the temperatures.

Ice Maker

(onsomemodels- Accessory)

Turning the Ice Maker On/Off

NOTE: Do not force the wire shutoff arm up or down.

■To turn the ice maker on, simply lower the wire shutoff arm.

NOTE: Your ice maker has an automatic shutoff. As ice is made, the ice cubes will fill the ice storage bin and the ice cubes will raise the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position.

■To manually turn the ice maker off, lift the wire shutoff arm to the OFF (arm up) position and listen for the click to make sure the ice maker will not continue to operate.
