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.

Remove

the base grille. See the Base Grille graphic

in

"Refrigerator

Doors." The two leveling screws

are part of the

front roller assemblies

which are at the base of the

refrigerator

on either side.

2.

Use a screwdriver

to adjust the leveling screws.

Turn the

leveling

screw to the right to raise that side of the refrigerator

or turn the leveling screw to the left to lower that side.

It may

take several turns

of the leveling

screws

to adjust the tilt of

the refrigerator.

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.

3.

Open both doors

again and check to make sure that they

close as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator

slightly

more to the rear by turning

both leveling screws

to the right. It

may take several more turns,

and you should

turn both

leveling

screws the same amount.

4.

Replace the base grille.

Align

Doors

If the space

between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust

it

using the instructions

below:

1.

Pry off the top hinge cover.

2.

Loosen the top hinge screws

using

a %6" socket

or wrench.

3.

Have someone

hold the door in place or put a spacer

between

the doors

while you tighten

the top hinge screws.

4.

Replace the top hinge cover.

REFRIGERATOR

USE

For your convenience,

your refrigerator

controls

are preset at the

factory. When you first install your refrigerator,

make sure that the

controls

are still preset to the mid-settings

as shown.

NOTE: To turn your refrigerator

off, turn the refrigerator

control to

the word OFF or until the word OFF appears.

Your product

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.

Adjusting

Controls

The mid-settings

indicated

in the previous section should

be

correct for normal household

usage. The controls

are set

correctly

when

milk or juice is as cold as you like and when

ice

cream

is firm.

If the temperature

is too warm or too cold in the refrigerator

or

freezer, first check the air vents to be sure they are not blocked.

If you need to adjust temperatures,

use the settings

listed in the

chart below

as a guide. On models

with two controls,

adjust the

refrigerator

temperature

first. Wait at least 24 hours between

adjustments

and then recheck

the temperatures.
