Adjust the Doors
Door Closing
Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers one on the right
and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you
want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using
the instructions below.
1. Use a level to check the floor at the back from side to side. If
needed, use shims to level the back of the refrigerator if it is
uneven.
2. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
3. Roll the refrigerator into place with the rear rollers on top of
any shim(s) used so that the rear of the refrigerator is level.
4. Use the bottom leveling screws to level the refrigerator from
side to side. They are part of the front roller assemblies, which
are found at the base of the refrigerator on either side.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws and
rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.
5. Depending on your model, to level your refrigerator you may
either turn the screw clockwise to raise that side of the
refrigerator or turn the screw counterclockwise to lower that
side. Place a level on top of the refrigerator to check
adjustments.

6. If the doors do not close on their own, you will need to raise
the front of the refrigerator so it is slightly higher than the
back. To do this, turn both leveling screws clockwise ¹⁄₂ turn.
IMPORTANT: Be sure to turn both screws an equal amount or
the refrigerator will no longer be level side to side.
7. Open both doors again and check to make sure that they
close as easily as you like. If not, repeat steps 3 and 4.
8. Using a level, check to see that the refrigerator is still level side
to side. Readjust if necessary.
REFRIGERATOR USE
Using the Control
The temperature control is located at the top of the refrigerator
compartment. It controls the temperature in both the refrigerator
and freezer compartments.
For your convenience, the Temperature Control is preset at the
factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure that the
control is still preset to the mid-setting as shown.
NOTE: To turn your refrigerator off, turn the refrigerator control to
the word OFF or until the word OFF appears. Your product will not
cool when the refrigerator control is set to OFF.
IMPORTANT:
Give your refrigerator time to cool down completely before
adding food. It is best to wait 24 hours before you put food
into the refrigerator.
If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely,
your food may spoil. Adjusting the Refrigerator and Freezer
Controls to a higher (colder) than recommended setting will
not cool the compartments any faster.

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
