DOOR ALIGNMENT AND ENERGY SAVING TIPS
Door alignment
The door should be parallel to the sides and top of the refrigera
-
tor. If alignment is necessary the door may be adjusted by loos
-
ening the 2 screws which secure the upper and/or lower hinge
adapter brackets, located on the top and bottom of the door,
and adjusting the door side to side. Use a 5/32” allen wrench for
this procedure. (See Figure 14 below). When finished aligning
the door, tighten the screws securely.

Energy Saving Tips
The following suggestions will minimize the cost of operating
your refrigeration appliance.
1. Do not install your appliance next to a hot appliance, (cook
-
er, dishwasher, etc.). heating air duct, or other heat sources.
2. Install product out of direct sunlight.
3. Assure the toe grille vents at front of unit beneath door are
not obstructed and kept clean to allow ventilation for the
refrigeration system to expel heat.
4. Plug your appliance into a dedicated power circuit. (Not
shared with other appliances).
5. When initially loading your new product, or whenever large
quantities of warm contents are placed within refrigerated
storage compartment, minimize door openings for the next
12 hours to allow contents to pull down to compartment
set-point temperature.
6. Maintaining a relatively full storage compartment will re
-
quire less appliance run time than an empty compartment.
7. Assure door closing is not obstructed by contents stored in
your appliance.
8. Allow hot items to reach room temperature before placing
in product.
9. Minimize door openings and duration of door openings.
10. Use the warmest temperature control set-point that meets
your personal preference and provides the proper storage
for your stored contents.
11. For wine storage products:
a. When serving temperatures are not required, re-
turn the compartment(s) set-point to the ideal
red and white wine long term storage tempera
ture of 13°C / 55°F.
b. For Dual-Zone product with two (2) independent
temperature controlled compartments, use the
lower compartment for the coldest storage /
serving temperature, (i.e.- red wines on top,
white wines in lower).
12. Minimize use of display lighting option on glass door
products, (light stays on with door closed).
13. When on vacation or away from home for extended
periods, set the appliance to warmest acceptable
temperature for the stored contents.
14. Set the control to the “off” position if cleaning the unit
requires the door to be open for an extended period
of time.
15) Annually clean condenser heat exchange coil located
in machine compartment underneath unit, (see “Care
and Cleaning” page 11).
