Opening and Closing Your Fresh Food Doors Your new refrigerator is uniquely designed with two fresh food doors. Either door can be opened or closed independently of one another. Vertical Hinged Section For proper usage and to avoid possible damage, always ensure the vertical hinged section (on the left fresh food door) remains folded inward before closing both doors. When both doors are closed, the hinged section automatically forms a seal between the two doors. When the left door is opened, the vertical hinged section automatically folds inward so that is is out of the way. WARNING To avoid electrical shock which can cause severe personal injury or death, DO NOT attempt to remove the vertical hinged section from the fresh food section. CAUTION To avoid possible product damage, ALWAYS verify that the vertical hinged section is folded against the edge of the door prior to closing. Important: Do not over-tighten. Cross threading may occur. 9
