support a minimum of 15 A and 120 V.

The use of an extension cable will increase the amount of space needed behind the refrigerator.

RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD

Your refrigerator must always be plugged to its own outlet which is adequately grounded. The energy current

should only be 115 V N 60 Hz, AC or 127 V N 60 Hz, AC (according to the National rating). This provides the best performance and prevents an overload which could cause a fire from the overheating of the cables.

CLOSINGANDAMGNINGTHEDOORS

Closing the Doors Your refrigerator has two front leveling screws, one on the right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems

unstable or if you would like the doors to close more easily, simply adjust the inclination of the refrigerator by following the instructions below:

1. Plug the refrigerator into a 3 prong grounded outlet.

Move the refrigerator into its final position.

2. Remove the base grille (Refer to the section on

"lnsfallafion of Base Grille").

3. Use a flat head screwdriver to adjust the leveling screws,

turning clockwise to raise the side of the refrigerator and counter-clockwise to lower it. It may take several turns to adjust it to the inclination you would like.

NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the

refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws. This will make it easier to adjust the screws.

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 your doors is uneven, follow

the instructions below to align the doors evenly: Use the wrench (included with the Use & Care

Guide) to turn the nut in the door hinge to adjust the height. To the right to raise or to the left to

lower the height.

The right refrigerator door does not have an adjustable nut.

If the space between your doors is uneven, follow the instructions below to align the right door:

1 With one hand, lift up both the inner and

outer door sections of the right door to raise them at the middle hinge. (Opening the door

may make lifting it easier)

2 With the other hand, use pliers to insert the

snap ring on the middle hinge of the inner door section as shown. Do not insert the ring

on the hinge of the outer door section.

3 Insert additional snap rings until the right door

is aligned. (Two snap rings are provided with the unit.)

Image only for reference.

4.0pen both doors again and check to make sure that

they close easily. If not, slightly tilt the refrigerator further back by turning both leveling screws clockwise. It may take several more turns. Make sure that you turn both leveling screws the same amount.

5. Ensure that the refrigerator is even by using a level.

6. Replace the base grille.

NOTE: Your new refrigerator is uniquely designed with two fresh food doors. Either door can be opened or closed independently of one another. You may have to exert slight pressure on doors to get them to close completely.
