Solution

When installed correctly, your refrigerator should

• Located on an even surface.
• Doors should be aligned.

If the doors are not aligned, please check the installation and follow the instructions to align the doors.

Guidelines for final positioning of your refrigerator:

• All four corners of the cabinet must rest firmly on the floor.
• The front should be slightly elevated to ensure that doors close and seal properly.
• Doors should align with each other and be level.

Most of these conditions can be met by raising or lowering adjustable front rollers.

To level the cabinet using the front rollers:

1. Slightly open freezer drawer if the toe grill is installed. Lift the toe grille and gently pull forward.

2. Make initial cabinet adjustments by using the front roller height adjusting screws.

Use a 3/8-inch socket wrench to turn the adjustment screws (1 per side). To raise: turn adjustment screw clockwise. To lower: turn adjustment screw counterclockwise.

3. Ensure both doors are bind-free with their seals touching the cabinet on all four sides and that cabinet is stable.

4. After unit is levelled, lower anti-tip leg using a 3/8-inch socket wrench until it firmly contacts the floor.

To make final door height adjustments:

1. Open freezer drawer to make lower hinge visible.

2. Insert 6mm Allen wrench into the shaft of the lower hinge.

3. Adjust the height by turning clockwise or counterclockwise.

Turning clockwise will lower the door.

Turning counterclockwise will raise the door.

Default setting is to the lowest height when you receive your appliance

Bottom Doors Vertical Alignment In some cases the bottom doors might be slightly vertically misaligned. To correct this difference, it may be used the C-Shaped Shim supplied with the unit. The shim must be installed on the bottom hinge of the lower door lifting it to get access of the pin where the shim must be attached, as follows on the images.
