REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION
POSITIONING AND LEVELING
THE REFRIGERATOR
Now that the refrigerator has been assembled, position
and level the refrigerator.
The refrigerator has two front leveling legs—one on the
right and one on the left. Adjust legs to alter tilt from front
to back or side to side. If the refrigerator seems unsteady
or if you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the
refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions below:
NOTE: Make sure it meets all the requirements listed
on page 9.
1. Plug the refrigerator’s power cord into a 3-prong
groundedoutlet.Movetherefrigeratorintoitsnal
position.
2. Open the refrigerator door and place a level on the
lower shelf. Check to make sure it is level from side
to side and front to back.
NOTE: Having someone push backward against the top
of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling legs.
This makes it easier to adjust the legs.
3. If it is not level, adjust the front leveling legs until the
refrigerator is level. Using a screwdriver, turn the leg
counterclockwise to extend the leg and raise the
refrigerator at that point. Turn the leg clockwise to
retract the leg and lower the refrigerator at that point.
It may take several turns of the leveling leg to adjust
the tilt of the refrigerator.
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 legs clockwise.
It may take several more turns, and you should turn
both leveling legs the same.
5. Readjust if necessary.
