Adjust the Doors
Door Closing
Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers – one on the right
and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want
the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the
instructions below.
IMPORTANT: To comply with American Disabilities Act (ADA)
guidelines, fully retract the rollers into the cabinet to lower the
refrigerator.
1. Remove the base grille. See the Base Grille graphic in
“Refrigerator Doors.” The two leveling screws are part of the
front roller assemblies which are at the base of the refrigerator
on either side.
2. Use a screwdriver to adjust the leveling screws. Turn the leveling
screw to the right to raise that side of the refrigerator 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
refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator
takes some weight off the leveling screws and rollers. This
makes it easier to adjust the screws.
3. Open both doors again to make sure that they close as easily
as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator 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.
4. 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.
REFRIGERATOR USE
Ensuring Proper Air Circulation
In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit airflow
between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in the
illustration, cool air enters through the bottom of the freezer section
and moves up. Most of the air then flows through the freezer
section vents and recirculates under the freezer floor. The rest of the
air enters the refrigerator section through the top vent.
Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents
are blocked, airflow will be obstructed and temperature and
moisture problems may occur.
IMPORTANT: Because air circulates between both sections, any
odors formed in one section will transfer to the other. You must
thoroughly clean both sections to eliminate odors. To avoid odor
transfer and drying out of food, wrap or cover foods tightly.
Using the Controls
For your convenience, your refrigerator controls are preset at the
factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the
controls are still preset to the mid-setting as shown.
NOTE: To turn your refrigerator off, turn the refrigerator control to
the word OFF or until the word OFF appears. Your product will not
cool when the refrigerator control is set to OFF.
