10_ setting up
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
1. Open the freezer drawer
and remove the lower
basket. (See to page 9)
2. Remove the two screws
(1) attached to the front
leg cover (2) with a Philips
screwdriver (+).
3. Remove the front leg cover
(2) by lifting the bottom
part of the front leg cover
up and pulling it out.
4. Insert a flat-blade screwdriver (-) into a notch 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 front leg
cover 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.
1. Pull out the Flex Zone door (1) to expose the
lower hinge (2).
2. Insert the supplied allen wrench (3/16”) (3) into
the shaft (4) of the lower hinge.
3. Adjust the height by turning the hex wrench (3)
clockwise (
DOWN
) or counter-clockwise (
UP
).
When you turn the hex wrench counter-
clockwise ( ), the door will move up.
1. After adjusting the doors, insert the supplied
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”.
