NOTE
The refrigerator doors are designed to shut

Door 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.
