INSTALLATION
NOTE
T
he refrigerator doors are designed to shut
by themselves within a 20 degree opening.

Your refrigerator should be positioned to
allow easy access to a counter or table when
removing food. For best use of drawers and
freezer baskets, the refrigerator should be
in a position where both the refrigerator and
freezer doors can be fully opened.
Guidelines for final positioning of
your refrigerator:
•
All four corners of the cabinet must rest
firmly on the floor.
•
The cabinet should be level at the front
and rear.
•
The sides should tilt ¼ inch (6 mm) from
front to back (to ensure that doors close
and seal properly).
•
Doors should align with each other and
be level.
All of these conditions can be met by raising
or lowering the adjustable front rollers.
To level the cabinet using the front rollers:
1 Open both doors and remove the toe
grille (see “Toe Grille Installation and
Removal” in the “Installation” section).
2
Close the doors and use a flat-blade
screwdriver or ⅜ inch socket wrench to
raise or lower the front rollers.
3
Ensure both doors are bind-free with their
seals touching the cabinet on all four sides.

To level the doors using the adjustable

1 Before leveling either door, remove set
screw that locks door height into position.

screw removed).

If the refrigerator door is lower than the
freezer door, raise the refrigerator door by
turning the adjustment screw clockwise
using a
7

If the freezer door is lower than the
refrigerator door, raise the freezer door by
turning the adjustment screw clockwise

After leveling, verify door stop contacts
lower hinge and top of door does
not contact upper hinge through full
movement of door (from fully closed to
fully open).
5 Reinstall set screw, locking the
door height.
