Installation

Door opening

NOTE

The refrigerator doors are designed to shut by

themselves within a 20 degree opening.

Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy

access to a counter when removing food. For best

use of drawers and freezer baskets, the refrigerator

should be in a position where both the refrigerator

and freezer doors can be fully opened.

Guidelines for final positioning of your

refrigerator:

• All four corners of the cabinet must rest firmly

on the floor.

• The cabinet should be level at the front and

rear.

• The sides should tilt ¼ inch (6 mm) from front

to back (to ensure that doors close and seal

properly).

• Doors should align with each other and be

level.

All of these conditions can be met by

raising or lowering the adjustable front

rollers.

To level the cabinet using the front rollers:

1 Open both doors and remove the toe grille

(see "Toe Grille Installation and Removal"

in the "Installation" section).

2 Close the doors and use a flat-blade

screwdriver or ³⁄₈ inch socket wrench to raise

or lower the front rollers.

3 Ensure both doors are bind-free with their

seals touching the cabinet on all four sides.

To level the doors using the adjustable lower

hinge (some models):

1 If the refrigerator door is lower than the

freezer door, raise the refrigerator door by

turning the adjustment screw clockwise using

a ⁷/

inch socket wrench. (See illustration.)

2 If the freezer door is lower than the

refrigerator door, raise the freezer door by

turning the adjustment screw clockwise using

a ⁷/

inch socket wrench. (See illustration.)

3 After leveling, verify door stop contacts lower

hinge and top of door does not contact upper

hinge through full movement of door (from

fully closed to fully open).

4 Replace the toe grille by fitting it into place

(see "Toe Grille Installation and Removal"

in the "Installation" section).
