INSTALLATION

ENGLISH

Door Alignment

Leveling the doors may not be possible when 
the floor is not level, or is of weak or poor 
construction. The refrigerator is heavy and 
should be installed on a rigid and solid surface. 
Some wood flooring may cause leveling 
difficulties if it flexes excessively. 

Refrigerator Door Alignment

If the left side door is lower, lift the left 

 

y

side door, and turn the hinge bolt using 
the spanner as in the drawing. (for upper 
refrigerator doors, use spanner 

1

.)

If the right side door is lower, lift the right 

 

y

side door, and use a pair of long nose pliers 
(not supplied) to additionally insert a snap 
ring 

3

 as shown in the drawing, until the 

heights are balanced.

Leveling

After installing, plug the refrigerator’s power 
cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet and push 
the refrigerator into the final position.

Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs—
one on the right and one on the left. Adjust the 
legs to alter the tilt from front-to-back or side-
to-side. If your refrigerator seems unsteady, or 
you want the doors to close more easily, adjust 
the refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions 
below:

1

 

Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise 
that side of the refrigerator or to the right 
to lower it. It may take several turns of the 
leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the  
refrigerator.

2

 

Open both doors again and check to make 
sure that they close easily. If the doors do 
not close easily, tilt the refrigerator slightly 
more to the rear by turning both leveling 
legs to the left. It may take several more 
turns, and you should turn both leveling 
legs the same amount.

 

NOTE

A flare nut wrench works best, but an 
open-end wrench will suffice.  
Do not over-tighten.
