IMPORTANT: Please read carefully.
TO CONNECT ELECTRICITY
RECOMMENDED GROUNDING METHOD
The refrigerator should always be plugged into its own
individual properly grounded electrical outlet rated for
115 Volts, 60 Hz, AC only, and fused at 15 or 20 amperes.
This provides the best performance and also prevents


or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.
Where a standard two-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have
it replaced with a properly grounded three-prong wall
outlet.
Electrical Shock Hazard
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, this appliance must be
properly grounded. Have the wall outlet and the circuit

LEVELING AND DOOR ALIGNMENT
Leveling
After installing, plug the refrigerator’s power cord into a


Your refrigerator has two front leveling legs—one on the
right and one on the left. Adjust the legs to alter the tilt
from front-to-back or side-to-side. If your refrigerator
seems unsteady, or you want the doors to close more
easily, adjust the refrigerator’s tilt using the instructions
below:
NOTE: Tools Required: /
screwdriver.
1. Turn the leveling leg to the left to raise that side of
the refrigerator or to the right to lower it. It may take
several turns of the leveling leg to adjust the tilt of the
refrigerator.
NOTE: Having someone push backward against the top of

This makes it easier to adjust the legs.
2. Open both doors again and check to make sure that
they close easily. If the doors do not close easily, tilt
the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning
both leveling legs to the left. It may take several more
turns, and you should turn both leveling legs the same
amount.
NOTE: Your refrigerator is uniquely designed with
two fresh food doors. Either door can be opened or
closed independently of the other. You may have to
exert slight pressure on the doors to get them to close
completely.
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

IN-DOOR ICE BIN
CAUTION
Keep hands and tools out of the ice compartment door
and dispenser chute. Failure to do so may result in
damage or personal injury.
The icemaker will stop producing ice when the in-door ice
bin is full. If you need more ice, empty the ice bin into the
extra ice bin in the freezer compartment. During use, the
ice can become uneven causing the icemaker to misread
the amount of ice cubes and stop producing ice. Shaking
the ice bin to level the ice within it can reduce this problem.
NOTE: Storing cans or other items in the ice bin will
damage the icemaker.
Keep the ice compartment door closed tightly. If the ice
compartment door is not closed tightly, the cold air in the
ice bin will freeze food in the refrigerator compartment.
This could also cause the icemaker to stop producing ice.
NOTE: Emptying the ice bin is recommended if the
icemaker ON/OFF button on the control panel is set to
OFF for an extended period of time.
1. Pull or push the door handle to open or close the ice
compartment.
2. To remove the in-door ice bin, grip the front handle,
slightly lift the lower part, and slowly pull out the bin
as shown.
3. To reinstall the in-door ice bin, slightly slant the
bin during replacement to avoid contact with the
icemaker.

replacing the ice bin. See the label on the ice
compartment door for details.
CAUTION
When handling the
ice bin, keep hands
away from the
icemaker tray area to
avoid personal injury.
