REFRIGERATOR 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
fi nal position.
Your 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 your refrigerator
seems unsteady, or you want the doors to close more
easily, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions
below:
NOTE: Tools required: 11/16" (18mm) wrench or fl at blade
screwdriver.
1. Turn the leveling leg counterclockwise to raise that
side of the refrigerator or clockwise to lower it. It may
take several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt
of the refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push backward against the top of
the refrigerator takes some weight off of the leveling legs.
This makes it easier to adjust the legs.
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 counterclockwise. It may take
several more turns, and you should turn both leveling
legs the same amount.
NOTE: Your refrigerator is uniquely designed with
two fresh food doors. Either door can be opened or
closed independently of the other. You may have to
exert slight pressure on the doors to get them to close
completely.
Door Alignment
Both the left and right refrigerator doors have an
adjustable nut, located on the bottom hinge, to raise and
lower them to align properly.
If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the
instructions below to align the doors evenly:
Use the wrench (included with the Use & Care Guide) to
turn the nut in the door hinge to adjust the height. Turn
the nut clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower the
door.
