4. Make sure the doors close easily. If you are satisfied with the 

door opening and closing, skip the next section and go to 
Step 5. If, however, the doors do not close easily or the doors 
pop open, adjust the tilt.
To Adjust the Cabinet Tilt:

Open the freezer drawer. Use a 

¹⁄₄

" hex nut driver to turn 

both brake feet clockwise the same amount. This will raise 
the front of the refrigerator. It may take several turns to 
allow the doors to close easier.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the 
refrigerator takes some weight off the brake feet. This 
makes it easier to turn them.

Style 1  

Style 2    

5. Make sure the refrigerator is steady. If the refrigerator seems 

unsteady or rolls forward when a door or drawer is pulled 
open, adjust the brake feet.
To Steady the Refrigerator:

Open the freezer drawer. Using a 

¹⁄₄

" hex driver, turn both 

brake feet clockwise the same amount until the brake feet 
are snug against the floor. Check again. If not satisfied, 
continue to adjust the brake feet by half turns of the screw 
until the refrigerator does not roll forward when the drawer 
is opened. 

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the 
refrigerator takes some weight off the brake feet. This 
makes it easier to turn the screws.

6. Replace the base grille by aligning the ends of the grille with 

the leveling assemblies on each side and snapping the grille 
into place.

FILTERS AND ACCESSORIES

Water Filtration System

Install the Water Filter

1. Locate the accessory packet in the refrigerator and remove 

the water filter. 

2. Take the water filter out of its packaging and remove the cover 

from the O-rings. Be sure the O-rings are still in place after the 
cover is removed.

3. The water filter compartment is located in the right-hand side 

of the refrigerator ceiling. Push up on the compartment door 
to release the catch, and then lower the door. 

4. Align the arrow on the water filter label with the cutout notch in 

the filter housing and insert the filter into the housing.

5. Turn the filter clockwise 90 degrees (

¹⁄₄

 turn) until it locks into 

the housing.
NOTE: If the filter is not correctly locked into the housing, the 
water dispenser will not operate. Water will not flow from the 
dispenser.
