HOW TO ADJUST THE DOOR 

HEIGHT

If any one of the doors is lower 

than the other:

•  Check if the Refrigerator is 

level before adjusting the 

door.

•  Adjust the door height difference by inserting a 

Snap Ring (1) as shown between the door and 

the hinge. 

You can install a ring on the right side door of 

the fresh food compartment and both sides of 

the freezer compartment.

(1)

•  After checking the height difference, select one 

Snap Ring with a suitable thickness. Insert that 

one Snap Ring only. Inserting two or more Snap 

Rings may cause the Snap Rings to slip out or 

make a rubbing noise.

•  Lift up the lower door and insert the Snap Ring 

into the space between the Door and the Hinge.

CAUTION

•  To avoid injury, insert or remove Snap Rings 

carefully.

•  Keep the Snap Rings out of the reach of 

children and make sure that children do not 

play with them or put them into their mouths.

•  1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, and 2.5 mm Snap 

Rings come with the Refrigerator.

•  If the Refrigerator is level before you load it with 

food, the Refrigerator may become unbalanced 

due to the weight of the food. 

If this occurs, adjust the level again using the 

same procedure.

•  If you raise the door too far, it can rub against 

the Top Cover.

Snap Rings included with the refrigerator:

1 mm

1.5 mm

2 mm

2.5 mm

HOW TO ADJUST THE DOOR GAP

If the gap between the left and right fridge 

compartment doors is not even.

•  You can adjust the gap by 

turning the bolt at the top 

right of the cold storage 

compartment door. 

•  Do not turn the bolt too far.  

You can break it.

1.  With the doors closed, remove the 3 screws 

holding the top cover using a Phillips 

screwdriver, and then lift it off together with the 

connected cables.

2.  Turn the bolt with a 4 mm 

hexagonal L-wrench to 

adjust the gap.

3.  Turn the bolt clockwise to ( 

 ) widen the 

gap. Turn the bolt counterclockwise ( 

 ) to 

narrow the gap.
