2 While pushing toe grille firmly against cabinet,

fasten bottom clips of toe grille to cabinet.

3 Fasten top clips to cabinet. 4 Close the doors. Fasten right and left side clips

into groove of bottom hinge.

If your refrigerator is placed with the door hinge side against a wall, you may have to allow additional space

so the door can be opened wider.

Door Opening

The refrigerator doors are designed to shut by

themselves within a 20 degree opening.

Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy access to a counter or table 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"

= All four corners of the cabinet must rest firmly on

the floor.

o The cabinet should be level at the front and rear.

The sides should tilt 1/4inch (6 mm) from front to back (to ensure that doors close and seal properly).

Doors should align with each other and be 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 fiat-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.

To level the doors using the adjustable lower

hinge (some models):

1 Before leveling either door, remove set screw that

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

2 If the refrigerator door is lower than the freezer

door, raise the refrigerator door by turning the adjustment screw clockwise using a 7/16inch wrench. (See illustration.)

3 If the freezer door is lower than the refrigerator

door, raise the freezer door by turning the adjustment screw clockwise using a 7/t6inch wrench. (See illustration.)
