Adjust the Doors IMPORTANT: ■■ Your refrigerator has two adjustable, front leveling screws - one on each side of the refrigerator base. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the door to close easier, use the instructions below. ■■ Before moving the refrigerator, raise the leveling screws so the front rollers are touching the floor. 1. Use a Bubble level to check levelness of floor where the rear side of the refrigerator will rest. If the refrigerator is not leveled, adjust or add the shim on flooring to create a leveled floor for the rear side wheels. A leveled rear side prevents the refrigerator cabinet from forming a twist. 2. Remove the two screws fastening the base grille to the cabinet, and set the screws aside. Grasp the grille and pull it toward you. 4. Open the door again to make sure that it closes as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling screws clockwise. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both screws the same amount. 5. Replace the base grille. REFRIGERATOR USE Opening and Closing Doors There are two refrigerator compartment doors. The doors can be opened and closed either separately or together. There is a vertically-hinged seal on the left refrigerator door. ■■ When the left side door is opened, the hinged seal automatically folds inward so that it is out of the way. ■■ When both doors are closed, the hinged seal automatically forms a seal between the two doors. A 3. Raise or lower the cabinet. Using a 1/4" hex driver, turn the leveling screw on each side to raise or lower that side of the refrigerator. NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws. This makes it easier to turn the screws. It may take several turns of the leveling screw to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator. ■■ To raise, turn the leveling screw clockwise. ■■ To lower, turn the leveling screw counterclockwise. ¹⁄₄" A.

Temperature Controls For your convenience, your temperature controls are preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the controls are still set to the recommended set points as shown. Recommended Setting A B A. Leveling screw B. Front roller ■■ Use the bubble level on top of the refrigerator or on its side to level the refrigerator. Check bubble level and at the same time observe the gaps and squareness to the adjacent cabinets, furniture or trim. If adjacent furnishings are not level, it may not be possible to achieve even gaps when product is level. IMPORTANT: ■■ When the power is on, the temperature display shows the set point temperature of the compartment. ■■ Wait 24 hours for your refrigerator to cool completely before adding food. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil. NOTE: Adjusting the refrigerator and freezer temperature controls to a colder than recommended setting will not cool the compartments any faster. 9
