screws and line up the doors so

they are parallel with the sides

to the bottom hinge as required.

Make sure the water line and elec-

trical wire are not interfered with.

ging in the refrigerator

sure the lights go out as the

doors close.

erly, retighten all hinge screws se-

curely and replace the hinge cov-

ers. (Replace

freezer hinge cover.) Reattach the

door shelves and compartments.

Do not replace the base grille until

the water line is hooked up. Check

the union for leakage when water

is flushed through the cold water

tank. Tighten
