LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT

To view an animated video about

the leveling and door alignment

process, scan the code at left

with your mobile device.

✔

To level the product or align the doors, you must first

remove the base grille as follows:

❏

Open both doors to 90˚. Remove the base grille by

removing the two screws, then pulling out on the

outside corners.

NOTE: The doors must only be opened to 90˚. If

they are opened all the way, the base grille will not

come off.

✔

If the refrigerator doors do not close easily or pop

open, or if the refrigerator seems unsteady or rolls

when a door is pulled open:

❏

Use a ¹⁄₄" open-ended or adjustable wrench to adjust

the leveling feet, which are located on the brackets

on each side of the product.

■ Turn the leveling foot to the left to raise that side

of the product, or turn it to the right to lower that

side of the product.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the

refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling feet,

making it easier to turn the feet.

✔

The doors are designed to be slightly different

heights when the refrigerator is empty, in order to

account for the weight of food that will be placed on

the doors. If doors are uneven after food has been

placed inside:

❏

Use a ⁵⁄₁₆" open-ended or adjustable wrench to turn

the alignment screw, which is located on the bottom

hinge of the refrigerator door.

ENERGY AND NORMAL OPERATING SOUNDS

Your new refrigerator has been designed to optimize energy

efficiency, and better regulate temperatures to match cooling

demand. You may notice that it operates differently from your

previous refrigerator.

It is normal for the high-efficiency compressor to run for

extended periods of time at varying speeds, in order to

consume only the energy necessary for optimum efficiency.

In addition, during various stages of the cooling cycle and ice

production, you may hear normal operating sounds that are

unfamiliar to you. Normal sounds may include

cracking/crashing, popping, pulsating/whirring, rattling, water

running or gurgling, and sizzling.
