REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION
CLOSING AND ALIGNING THE DOORS
Closing the Doors
Your refrigerator has two front leveling screws, one on
the right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems
unstable or if you would like the doors to close more
easily, simply adjust the inclination of the refrigerator by
following the instructions below:
1.
Plug the refrigerator into a 3 prong grounded outlet.
Move the refrigerator into its final position.
2.
Remove the base grille (Refer to the section on
“Installation of Base Grille”
).
3.
Use a flat head screwdriver to adjust the leveling screws,
turning clockwise to raise the side of the refrigerator
and counter-clockwise to lower it. It may take several
turns to adjust it to the inclination you would like.
NOTE:
Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws.
This will make it easier to adjust the screws.
4.
Open both doors again and check to make sure that
they close easily. If not, slightly tilt the refrigerator
further back by turning both leveling screws clockwise.
It may take several more turns. Make sure that you turn
both leveling screws the same amount.
5.
Ensure that the refrigerator is even by using a level.
6.
Replace the base grille.
NOTE:
Your new refrigerator is uniquely designed with
two fresh food doors. Either door can be opened or
closed independently of one another. You may have
to exert slight pressure on doors to get them to close
completely.
Aligning the Doors
If the spacing between the doors is uneven, follow the
instructions below to align them:
1.
With one hand, lift up the door you want to raise at
middle hinge.
2.
With other hand, use pliers to insert snap ring as
shown.
3.
Insert additional snap rings until the doors are aligned
(Three snap rings are provided per unit).
When moving your refrigerator
Note:
Your refrigerator is extremly heavy. When moving
the refrigerator for installing, cleaning or service be sure
to follow the next instructions.
1.
Adjust leveling legs up.
2.
Cover the floor with cardboard or hardboard to
avoid floor damage.
3.
Always pull or push the refrigerator straight out
when moving it. Do not wiggle or “walk” the
refrigerator when trying to move it, as floor damage
could occur.
