Adjust the Doors
NOTE: If the casters are installed on your convertible refrigerator/
freezer, the leveling screws will not work. Shims can be placed under
the casters to level a convertible refrigerator/freezer that has casters
installed.
Door Closing
Your convertible refrigerator/freezer has two front adjustable rollers –
one on the right and one on the left. If your convertible refrigerator/
freezer seems unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust
the convertible refrigerator/freezer's tilt using the instructions below.
1.
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
2.
Move the convertible refrigerator/freezer into its final position.
3.
Remove the base grille. See Base Grille graphic. The two leveling
screws are part of the front roller assemblies which are at the
base of the convertible refrigerator/freezer on either side.
4.
Use a screwdriver to adjust the leveling screws. Turn the leveling
screw to the right to raise that side of the convertible refrigerator/
freezer 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 convertible refrigerator/freezer.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the convertible
refrigerator/freezer takes some weight off the leveling screws and
rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.
5.
Open both doors again and check to make sure that they close
as easily as you like. If not, tilt the convertible refrigerator/freezer
slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling screws to the
right. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both
leveling screws the same amount.
6.
Replace the base grille.
Align Doors
If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it
using the instructions below:
1.
Pry off the top hinge cover.
2.
Loosen the top hinge screws using a
⁵⁄₁₆
" socket or wrench.
3.
Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer between
the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws.
4.
Replace the top hinge cover.
Caster Installation
Gather the required tools and parts before starting installation.
TOOLS NEEDED:
PARTS SUPPLIED:
1.
Before you begin, turn the lower compartment control to off.
2.
Unplug convertible refrigerator/freezer or disconnect power.
3.
Remove food and any adjustable shelves and bins from
convertible refrigerator/freezer.
4.
Open the lower compartment door and remove the base grille.
Remove the grille by grasping the grille with both hands, lifting up
and pulling bottom of the grille toward you.
5.
Place the plastic skids (shipped with the convertible refrigerator/
freezer) on the floor at least 3 ft (91.44 cm) apart. Lay a piece of
cardboard or other protective material over the skids. This will
elevate the convertible refrigerator/freezer to allow for easier
caster installation and also protect it from scratches.
NOTE: If the skids have been discarded or are not available,
2" x 4" boards may be used.
