10_ setting up MAKING MINOR ADJUSTMENTS TO THE DOORS Remember, a level refrigerator is necessary for getting the doors perfectly even. If you need help, review the previous section on levelling the refrigerator. In the process for adjusting both the doors is the same. Open the doors and adjust them, one at a time, as follows: 1. Unscrew the nut 1 from the lower hinge until it reaches the upper end of the bolt 2. When you release the nut 1 , make sure that you use the Allen wrench provided 3 to loosen the bolt 2 in a counter-clockwise direction. You should then be able to unscrew the nut 1 with your fi ngers. 2. Adjust the height difference between the doors by turning the bolt 2 clockwise or counter clockwise . When you turn clockwise , the door will move up. 3. After adjusting the doors, turn the nut 1 clockwise until it reaches the lower end of the bolt, then tighten the bolt again with the wrench 3 to fi x the nut in place 1. If you do not secure the nut fi rmly, the bolt may release. LEVELLING THE REFRIGERATOR Now that the doors are back on the refrigerator, you will want to make sure the refrigerator is level so you can then make fi nal adjustments. If the refrigerator is not level, it will not be possible to get the doors perfectly even. The front of the refrigerator is also adjustable. When the Freezer door is lower than the fridge Insert a fl at-blade screwdriver into a notch on the Leg, turn it clockwise or counter clockwise to level the freezer. When the Freezer door is lower than the fridge Insert a fl at-blade screwdriver into a notch on the Leg, turn it clockwise or counter clockwise to level the fridge.
