INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
4. Make sure the doors close easily. If you are satisfied with the
door opening and closing, skip the next section and go to
“Align the Doors.” If, however, the doors do not close easily
or the doors pop open, adjust the tilt.
To Adjust the Cabinet Tilt:
Open the freezer drawer. Use a ¹⁄₄" hex driver to turn both
brake feet clockwise the same amount. This will raise the
front of the refrigerator. It may take several turns to allow
the doors to close easier.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the brake feet. This
makes it easier to turn them.

5. Make sure the doors are even at the top and that the space
between the bottom of the refrigerator doors and the top of
the freezer drawer is even. If necessary, align the doors.
To Align the Doors:
Keeping both refrigerator doors closed, pull out the
freezer drawer. Locate the bottom hinge pin of the
right-hand refrigerator door. The alignment screw is inside
the bottom hinge pin.
Insert the short end of the ¹⁄₈" hex-key wrench (packed
with the Door Handle Installation Instructions) into the
bottom hinge pin until it is fully engaged in the alignment
screw.
To raise the refrigerator door, turn the hex key to the right.
To lower the door, turn the hex key to the left.
Continue to turn the alignment screw until the doors are
aligned.
6. Make sure the refrigerator is steady. If the refrigerator seems
unsteady or rolls forward when the door or drawer is pulled
open, adjust the brake feet.
To Steady the Refrigerator:
Open the freezer drawer. Using a ¹⁄₄" hex driver, turn both
brake feet clockwise the same amount until the brake feet
are snug against the floor. Check again. If not satisfied,
continue to adjust the brake feet by half turns of the
screw until the refrigerator does not roll forward when
the drawer is opened.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the brake feet. This
makes it easier to turn the screws.
7. Replace the base grille by aligning the ends of the gril
le with
the leveling assemblies on each side and snapping the grille
into place.
