Adjust the Doors 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. IMPORTANT: To comply with American Disabilities Act (ADA) guidelines, fully retract the rollers into the cabinet to lower the refrigerator. 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 socket driver 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 which makes it easier to adjust. 3. Open both doors again to make sure 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. NOTE: To keep the refrigerator level, 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 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 Using the Controls The temperature controls are located at the top front of the refrigerator or freezer compartments. Temperature Controls For your convenience, the temperature control is preset at the factory. When you first install your refrigerator, make sure the control is still set to the recommended setting as shown. Recommended Setting "3 Snowflakes" IMPORTANT: ■ The recommended setting should be correct for normal household refrigerator use. The controls are set correctly when milk or juice is as cold as you like and when ice cream is firm. ■ 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. ■ 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 before adjusting the controls. Adjusting Controls If you need to adjust the temperature in either the refrigerator or freezer compartment, use the settings listed in the chart below as a guide. ■ Move the dial to the desired number of snowflakes from (1 least cold to 5 coldest). NOTE: Except when starting the refrigerator, do not adjust either control more than one setting at a time. Wait 24 hours between adjustments for the temperature to stabilize. CONDITION/REASON: ADJUSTMENT: REFRIGERATOR too warm REFRIGERATOR Control one setting higher FREEZER too warm/too little ice FREEZER Control one setting higher REFRIGERATOR too cold REFRIGERATOR Control one setting lower FREEZER too cold FREEZER Control one setting lower Cooling Off/On Move the dial control to the word OFF. To turn cooling back on, move the dial control to the desired temperature setting. NOTE: Neither compartment will cool when the control is set to OFF. 9
