Door Closing and Alignment
Door Closing Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers � one on the right and one on the left. If your refrigerator seems unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust the refrigerator's tilt using the instructions below: 1. Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. 2. Move the refrigerator into its �nal position. 3. Remove the base grille (see �Base Grille� earlier in this section). The two leveling screws are part of the front roller assemblies which are at the base of the refrigerator on either side. 4. Use a screwdriver to adjust the leveling screws. Turn the leveling screw to the right to raise that side of the refrigerator or turn the leveling screw to the left to lower that side. It may take several turns of the leveling screws to adjust the tilt of the refrigerator. NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the refrigerator takes some weight off the leveling screws and rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.

Normal Sounds
Your new refrigerator may make sounds that your old one didn�t make. Because the sounds are new to you, you might be concerned about them. Most of the new sounds are normal. Hard surfaces, such as the �oor, walls, and cabinets, can make the sounds seem louder. The following describes the kinds of sounds and what may be making them.

If your product is equipped with an ice maker, you will hear a buzzing sound when the water valve opens to �ll the ice maker for each cycle. Your refrigerator is designed to run more ef�ciently to keep your food items at the desired temperatures and to minimize energy usage. The high ef�ciency compressor and fans may cause your refrigerator to run longer than your old one. You may also hear a pulsating or high-pitched sound from the compressor or fans adjusting to optimize performance. You may hear the evaporator fan motor circulating air through the refrigerator and freezer compartments. The fan speed may increase as you open the doors or add warm food. Rattling noises may come from the �ow of refrigerant, the water line, or items stored on top of the refrigerator. Water dripping on the defrost heater during a defrost cycle may cause a sizzling sound. As each cycle ends, you may hear a gurgling sound due to the refrigerant �owing in your refrigerator. Contraction and expansion of the inside walls may cause a popping noise. You may hear air being forced over the condenser by the condenser fan. You may hear water running into the drain pan during the defrost cycle.

5. Open both doors again and check to make sure that they close as easily as you like. If not, tilt the refrigerator slightly more to the rear by turning both leveling screws to the right. It may take several more turns, and you should turn both leveling screws the same amount. 6. Replace the base grille. Door Alignment If the space between your doors looks uneven, you can adjust it using the instructions below: 1. Pry off the top hinge cover. 2. Loosen the top hinge screws using a ���� in. socket or wrench. 3. Have someone hold the door in place or put a spacer between the doors while you tighten the top hinge screws. 4. Replace the top hinge cover.

REFRIGERATOR USE
Ensuring Proper Air Circulation
In order to ensure proper temperatures, you need to permit air�ow between the refrigerator and freezer sections. As shown in the illustration, cool air enters through the bottom of the freezer section and moves up. Most of the air then �ows through the freezer section vents and recirculates under the freezer �oor. The rest of the air enters the refrigerator section through the top vent.

Do not block any of these vents with food packages. If the vents are blocked, air�ow will be prevented and temperature and moisture problems may occur.
