Adjust the Doors

IMPORTANT: Fully retract the rollers into the cabinet to lower the
refrigerator.
Door Closing
Your refrigerator has two front adjustable levelers - one on the
right and one on the left. To avoid a hazard due to instability, if
your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close
easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the following instructions.
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 socket driver 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 which makes it easier to adjust.
NOTE: On some models if your product has an extra leveler
adjust it, turning right or left to prevent product tipping.
3. Open both doors again to make sure they close as easily as
you like and that they stay closed. If not, tilt the refrigerator
slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling screws to the
right. It may take several more turns.
NOTES:
To keep the refrigerator level, you should turn both leveling
■
screws the same amount.
On models with the leveling/roller assembly, after adjusting
■
the refrigerator to the desired tilt, turn the leveling leg until it is
firmly against the floor as shown.

Door Aligning
If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it
using the following instructions:
1. Depending on your model, remove the top hinge cover.
Loosen the top hinge screws using a 5/16" socket or wrench.
2. Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer
between the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws.
3. Replace the top hinge cover, if removed in Step 1.

REFRIGERATOR USE

Using the Controls

Your refrigerator has two controls that affect the temperature. The
temperature control is located at the top front of the refrigerator
compartment and the Airflow control is located on the back wall
of the freezer compartment.
IMPORTANT:
The recommended setting should be correct for normal
■
household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly
when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream
is firm.
Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before
■
adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has
cooled completely, your food may spoil.
NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature
controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool
the compartments any faster.
If the temperature is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator
■
or freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not
blocked before adjusting the controls.
