01 SETTING UP
ASSEMBLE THE FREEZER
DRAWER
To reattach the drawer after you have moved
the fridge to its final location, assemble parts in
reverse order.
ADJUSTING THE LEVEL
Make sure the refrigerator is level so that you can
make final adjustments. Use a level to test if the
refrigerator is level both side to side and back to
front. If the refrigerator is not level, it will not be
possible to get the doors perfectly even, which
may cause moisture condensation and increased
energy bills. Below is an example of how to level
the refrigerator if the left side of the refrigerator is
lower than the right side.
How to adjust the level
Open the freezer drawer and remove the lower 1.
basket.
Insert a flat-blade screwdriver (-) into a notch 2.
on the left control lever, and turn it count
clockwise to level the refrigerator. (You turn the
lever clockwise to lower the refrigerator and
counterclockwise to raise it.)
Both control levers must be touching the
floor to avoid possible personal injury or
property damage because of tipping.
If the right side is lower, perform the same
procedure, but with the right control lever.
It is difficult to remove the cover leg
front from the refrigerator, so we do not
recommend making small adjustments
with the control lever. Instead, refer to the
next page for the best way to make minor
adjustments to the doors.
MAKING MINOR ADJUSTMENTS
BETWEEN DOORS
Remember, a leveled refrigerator is necessary
for getting the doors perfectly even. If you need
help, review the previous section on leveling the
refrigerator.
The left door is fixed. To make minor
adjustments between doors, adjust only
the right door.
Pull out the freezer drawer ( 1. 1 ), then you can
see the lower hinge ( 2 ).
Insert the supplied allen wrench (3/16”) ( 2. 3 )
into the shaft ( 4 ) of the lower hinge.
Please adjust the height by turning the 3.
hex wrench ( 3 ) clockwise (
DOWN
) or
counterclockwise (
UP
).
When you turn the hex wrench counter-
clockwise( ), the door will move up.
After adjusting the doors, insert the supplied 4.
fastener ( 6 ) using a pliers ( 5 ) in the gap
between the hinge-grommet ( 7 ) and the lower
hinge ( 8 ). The number of fasteners you’ll need
to insert depends on the gap.
2 fastener are enclosed with the refrigerator.
The thickness of each fastener is 0.04”.
