Installation
Door opening
Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy
access to a counter when removing food. For best
use of drawers and freezer baskets, the refrigerator
should be in a position where both the refrigerator
and freezer doors can be fully opened.
Guidelines for final positioning of your
refrigerator:
• Allfourcornersofthecabinetmustrestrmly
on the floor.
• Thecabinetshouldbelevelatthefrontand
rear.
• Thesidesshouldtilt¼inch(6mm)fromfront
to back (to ensure that doors close and seal
properly).
• Doorsshouldalignwitheachotherandbe
level.
All of these conditions can be met by
raising or lowering the adjustable front
rollers.
To level the cabinet using the front rollers:
1 Open both doors and remove the toe grille
(see “Toe Grille Installation and Removal”
in the “Installation” section).
2 Close the doors and use a flat-blade
screwdriver or ³⁄₈ inch socket wrench to raise
or lower the front rollers.
3 Ensure both doors are bind-free with their
seals touching the cabinet on all four sides.
NOTE
The refrigerator doors are designed to shut by
themselves within a 20 degree opening.

hinge and top of door does not contact upper
hinge through full movement of door (from

6 Replace the toe grille by fitting it into place
(see “Toe Grille Installation and Removal” in
the “Installation” section).

To level the doors using the adjustable lower
hinge (some models):

that locks door height into position. (The
door cannot be adjusted without set screw
removed).
