INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Refrigerator Leveling, Door Closing and Alignment
The base grille covers the adjustable brake feet and roller
assemblies located at the bottom of the refrigerator below the
freezer drawer. Before making any adjustments, remove the base
grille and move the refrigerator to its final location.
Tools Needed: ¹⁄₄" hex driver
Tools Provided: ¹⁄₈" hex key wrench
1. Remove the base grille. Grasp the grille firmly and pull it
toward you. Open the freezer drawer to access the brake
feet.
NOTE: To allow the refrigerator to roll easier, raise the break
feet by turning them counterclockwise. The front rollers will
be touching the floor.
2. Move the refrigerator to its final location.
3. Lower the brake feet, by turning them clockwise, until the
rollers are off the floor and both brake feet are snug against
the floor. This keeps the refrigerator from rolling forward when
opening the refrigerator doors or freezer drawer.
IMPORTANT: If you need to make further adjustments
involving the brake feet, you must turn both brake feet the
same amount to keep the refrigerator level.
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.
