the power cord. Always grip the plug rmly,
and pull straight out from the receptacle to
prevent damaging the power cord.
• Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning

Door Opening
NOTE
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 nal positioning of
your refrigerator:
• All four corners of the cabinet must rest
rmly on the oor.
• The cabinet should be level at the front
and rear.
• The sides should tilt ¼ inch (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 at-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:
NOTE
Some models will not have a set screw. For
those models follow steps 2 through 4.
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 7/16 inch 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 7/16 inch wrench. (See illustration.)
