and 

stable. 

Rear

are 

not 

adjustable.

be 

sure 

seals 

touch 

cabinet 

evenly 

on 

all 

four 

sides.

align 

across 

top 

of

door 

is 

higher 

than 

freezer 

door, 

raise 

left 

corner 

and/or 

lower 

right

corner 

until 

doors 

align 

across 

top 

of 

cabinet.

• To 

replace 

toe 

grill: 

 

Line 

up 

tabs 

with 

holes, 

and 

push

• Wash 

the

detergent 

and

warm water.

when 

removing

of 

warm 

water
