LEVELING THE REFRIGERATOR DOORS
w w WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
• Be careful when you work with the hinges, base
grille, and stopper. You may be injured.
• Do not put hands or feet or metal sticks into the
air vents, base grille, or the bottom of the
refrigerator. You may be injured or receive an
electrical shock.
Leveling
r
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 following instructions:
1
Plug the power cord into a 3-prong grounded
outlet, and move the refrigerator into its final
position. Remove the kick-plate screws and
then the kick plate.
• Open the Freezer Drawer.
• Once the drawer is open, there is sufficient
clearance to remove the screws on top of
the kick plate.
NOTE: To replace the kick plate, place it into
position, and then insert and tighten the
screws.

w w CAUTION
• To avoid possible injury or product or property
damage, you will need two people to perform the
following instructions.
Kick Plate
2
Level the refrigerator by using an 11/32 inch
(8mm) wrench or a flat blade screw driver.
Turn the leveling legs (CCW) to raise or (CW)
to lower the height of the front of the
refrigerator.
NOTE: The front of the refrigerator should be
slightly higher than the back.
NOTE: If someone pushes backward against
the top of the refrigerator, weight is lifted off
of the leveling legs, which makes adjustment
easier.
Open both doors to make sure they close
easily. If not, raise the leveling legs higher by
turning both clockwise the same amount.
Once the refrigerator is level, replace the
kick-plate.
NOTE: Your new refrigerator is uniquely
designed with two fresh food doors. Either
door can be independently opened or closed.
You will have to exert slight pressure on the
doors to close them completely.
