Leveling

The refrigerator has two front leveling legs. Adjust the legs to alter the tilt from front-to-back or side-to side. If the refrigerator seems unsteady, or the doors do not close easily, adjust the refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions below: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.A flare nut wrench works best, but an open-end wrench will suffice. Do not over-tighten.Open both doors 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 be sure to turn both leveling legs the same amount.

Door Alignment

The left refrigerator door has an adjustable nut, located on the bottom hinge, to raise and lower the door for proper alignment.If the space between the doors is uneven, follow the instructions below to align the left door:Use the wrench (included with the owner's manual) to turn the nut in the door hinge to adjust the height. Turn the nut to the right to raise the door or to the left to lower it.The right refrigerator door does not have an adjustable nut.If the space between the doors is uneven, follow the instructions below to align the right door:With one hand, lift up the right door to raise it at the middle hinge. (It may be easier to lift it with the doors open.)With the other hand, use pliers to insert the snap ring on the middle hinge of the right door section as shown.Insert additional snap rings until the right door is aligned. (Three snap rings are provided with the unit.)
