INSTALLATION
ENGLISH
Leveling and Door Alignment
Leveling
After installing, plug the refrigerator’s power
cord into a 3-prong grounded outlet and push
the refrigerator into the final position.
Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs—
one on the right and one on the left. Adjust the
legs to alter the tilt from front-to-back or side-
to-side. If your refrigerator seems unsteady, or
you want the doors to close more easily, adjust
the refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions
below:
1
Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise
that side of the refrigerator or to the right
to lower it. It may take several turns of the
leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the
refrigerator.
2
Open both doors again and check to make
sure that they close easily. If the doors do
not close easily, tilt the refrigerator slightly
more to the rear by turning both leveling
legs to the left. It may take several more
turns, and you should turn both leveling
legs the same mount.
NOTE
A flare nut wrench works best, but an
open-end wrench will suffice.
Do not over-tighten.

nut, located on the bottom hinge, to raise and
lower the door for proper alignment.

follow the instructions below to align the doors
evenly:
Use the wrench (included with the Use & Care
Guide) to turn the nut in the door hinge to
adjust the height. To the right to raise or to the
left to lower the height.
The right refrigerator door does not have an
adjustable nut.
If the space between your doors is uneven,

1
With one hand, lift up the door to raise at
the middle hinge.
