Adjust the Doors WARNING Excessive Weight Hazard Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. Your refrigerator has two adjustable levelers, one on each side, at the base of the refrigerator. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or if you want the doors to close more easily, adjust the level and tilt of the refrigerator. 1. Turn the leveler to the left to raise that side of the refrigerator or to the right to lower that side. It may take several turns to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator. NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the levelers. This makes it easier to turn the levelers. 2. Open both doors again to make sure that they close as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both levelers to the right. It may take several more turns. NOTE: To keep the refrigerator level, make the same adjustment to each side. 3. Using a level, make sure the refrigerator is still level from side to side. Readjust if necessary. IMPORTANT: ■ Turning the Temperature Control to OFF stops cooling in the refrigerator and freezer compartments, but it does not disconnect the refrigerator from the power supply. ■ The Temperature Control regulates the temperature in both the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Settings to the left of the mid-setting make the temperature less cold. Settings to the right of the mid-setting make the temperature colder. ■ Wait 24 hours before you put food into your refrigerator. If you add food before the refrigerator has cooled completely, your food may spoil. NOTE: Adjusting the Temperature Control to a higher (colder) setting will not cool the compartments any faster. ■ The mid-settings 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, before adjusting the controls, first make sure the air vents are not blocked. Adjust the Temperature Control NOTE: Wait at least 24 hours between adjustments and then recheck the temperatures.
