INSTALLATION
Leveling and Door Alignment
Leveling
After installing, plug the refrigerator’s power
cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet and push
the refrigerator into the final position.
The refrigerator has two front leveling legs—
one on the right and one on the left. Adjust the
legs to alter the tilt from front-to-back or side-
to-side. If the refrigerator seems unsteady,
or the doors do not close easily, adjust the
refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions below:
1
Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise
that side of the refrigerator or to the right
to lower it. It may take several turns of the
leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the
refrigerator.
2
Open both doors again and check to make
sure that they close easily. If the doors do
not close easily, tilt the refrigerator slightly
more to the rear by turning both leveling
legs to the left. It may take several more
turns, and be sure to turn both leveling
legs the same amount.
NOTE
A flare nut wrench works best, but an
open-end wrench will suffice.
Do not over-tighten.
Door Alignment
The left refrigerator door has an adjustable nut,
located on the bottom hinge, to raise and lower
the door for proper alignment.
If the space between the doors is uneven, follow
the instructions below to align the left door:
Use the wrench (included with the owner’s
manual) to turn the nut in the door hinge. Turn the
nut to the right to raise or to the left to lower the
height.
The right refrigerator door does not have an
adjustable nut.
If the space between the doors is uneven, follow
the instructions below to align the right door:
1
With one hand, lift up both the inner and
outer door sections of the right door to raise
them at the middle hinge. (Opening the door
may make lifting it easier)
2
With the other hand, use pliers to insert the
snap ring on the middle hinge of the inner
door section as shown. Do not insert the ring
on the hinge of the outer door section.
3
Insert additional snap rings until the right door
is aligned. (Two snap rings are provided with
the unit.)
