NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some of the weight off the Leveling
Screws. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.
4. Open both doors again and check to make sure
that they close easily. If not, tilt the refrigerator
slightly more to the rear by turning both Leveling
Screws clockwise. It may take several more turns,
and you should turn both Leveling Screws the
same amount.
5. Replace the base grille.
Place level tool on refrigerator shelf as shown below
to check if unit is level.
LEVELING AND DOOR CLOSING
To avoid vibration, the unit must be leveled. If necessary,
adjust the Leveling Legs to compensate for unevenness
of the floor. The front should be slightly higher than the
rear to aid in door closing.
Your refrigerator has two Front Leveling Screws - one on
the right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems
unsteady or you want the doors to close more easily,
adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructionsbelow:
1. Plug refrigerator power cord into a 3-prong grounded
outlet. Move the refrigerator into itsfinal position.
2. Remove the base grille. See BASE GRILLE
INSTRUCTIONS. The two Leveling Screws are
located on the bottom of the refrigerator on either side.
3. Insert a flat screwdriver in slots to adjust the Leveling
Screws. Turn the leveling screw clockwise to raise
the side of the refrigerator or counterclockwise to
lower it. It may take several turns of the Leveling
Screw to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator.
DOOR ALIGNMENT

with a fiat head screwdriver and remove. Loosen the

between the two doors is even, and retighten
the top hinge bolts.
