Door opening 

Your refrigerator should be positioned 

to allow easy access to a counter when 

removing food. For best use of refrigerator 

drawers and freezer baskets, the refrigerator 

should be in a position where both can be 

fully opened.

   CAUTION

      LED lighting 

  Your appliance is fitted with long life  

  LED lighting. In the unlikely event the 

  LED lights should fail, then the LED  

  lights should be serviced by the  

  service agent, to avoid a safety  

  hazard. Refer to the warranty page for  

  contact details. 

Cabinet Leveling & Refrigerator Door 

Alignment (if necessary) 

Guidelines for final positioning of your 

refrigerator:

•  All four corners of the cabinet must rest 

firmly on the floor.

•  The front should be slightly elevated 

to ensure that doors close and seal 

properly.

•  Doors should align with each other 

and be level. Most of these conditions 

can be met by raising or lowering the 

adjustable front rollers.

To level the cabinet using the front rollers:

1.  Slightly open freezer drawer if the toe 

grill is installed. Lift the toe grille and 

gently pull forward.

2. Make initial cabinet adjustments by 

using the front roller height adjusting 

screws. Use a 3/8 inch socket wrench to 

turn the adjustment screws (1 per side). 

To raise: turn adjustment screw 

clockwise. 

To lower: turn adjustment screw counter 

clockwise.

3. Ensure both doors are bind-free with 

their seals touching the cabinet on all 

four sides and that cabinet is stable.

4. After unit is leveled, lower anti-tip leg 

using a 3/8 inch socket wrench until it 

firmly contacts the floor.

To make final door height adjustments:

1.  Open freezer drawer to make lower 

hinge visible.

2. Insert 6mm Allen wrench into the shaft 

of the lower hinge.

3. Adjust the height by turning clockwise 

or counterclockwise. Turning 

wise will lower the door. Turning 

counterclockwise will raise the door. 

Default setting is to the lowest height 

when you receive your appliance.
