INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 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. Style 1 5.

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. ¹⁄₄" A B A.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
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.
To Steady the Refrigerator:
■
Open the freezer drawer. Using a
¹⁄₄
" hex driver, turn both
brake feet clockwise the same amount until the brake feet
are snug against the floor. Check again. If not satisfied,
continue to adjust the brake feet by half turns of the
screw until the refrigerator does not roll forward when the
drawer is opened.
NOTE:
Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the brake feet. This
makes it easier to turn the screws.
