Reversibility Kit Instructions

If your model came with a Reversibility kit, please use the Brand Badge Placement template and the following instructions to install the Brand Badge on the opposite side of the freezer door.

Parts Included:

Brand badge removal tool

Brand badge template (on last page)

Door handle hole plug

Tools Needed:

Scissors

Masking tape

Freezer Door

1.Using the removal tool (provided), remove the brand badge from the freezer door by lifting up the right-hand side and peeling the badge away from the door from right to left.

NOTE: To avoid scratching the door, do not use a sharp or metallic object to pry the brand badge from the door.

2.Rub a small amount of liquid dish soap over any adhesive residue with your fingers. Rinse the door with warm water and dry with a soft cloth.

3.Cut the template along the dotted lines that match the shape of the brand badge.

4.Align the edges of the template with the side and top of the freezer door and tape the template to the door.

NOTE: When the template is correctly aligned, the hole in the door, where the handle was, will be within the cutout of the template, as shown.

5.Using the cutout as a guide, press the brand badge onto the freezer door making sure that the hole is completely covered.

6.Slowly remove the template.

Adjust the Doors

IMPORTANT: To comply with American Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines, fully retract the rollers into the cabinet to lower the refrigerator.

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 following instructions:

1.Remove the base grille. See the Base Grille graphic in “Refrigerator Doors.” The two leveling screws are part of the front roller assemblies, which are at the base of the refrigerator on either side.

2.Use a socket driver to adjust the leveling screws. Turn the leveling screw to the right to raise that side of the refrigerator or turn the leveling screw to the left to lower that side. It may take several turns of the leveling screws to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.

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

3.Open both doors again to make sure they close as easily as you like and that they stay closed. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling screws to the right. It may take several more turns.

NOTE: To keep the refrigerator level, you should turn both leveling screws the same amount.

4.Replace the base grille.

Door Aligning

If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it using the following instructions:

1.Depending on your model, remove the top hinge cover. Loosen the top hinge screws using a ⁵⁄₁₆" socket or wrench.

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

3.Replace the top hinge cover, if removed in Step 1.
