Refrigerator and Freezer Drawers
1. With the drawer closed, place the handle onto the shoulder
screws so that the setscrews are facing down toward the
floor.
2. Firmly push the handle toward the drawer until the handle
base is flush against the drawer.
3. Insert the short end of the hex key into the left-hand hole and
slightly rotate the hex key until it is engaged in the setscrew.
4. Using a left to right motion tighten the setscrew a quarter-turn
at a time just until it begins to contact the shoulder screw. Do
not fully tighten.
5. Repeat steps 11 and 12 to fasten the right-hand setscrew to
the shoulder screw.
6. Once both setscrews have been partially tightened as
instructed in the previous steps, fully tighten both setscrews.
IMPORTANT: When the screws feel tight, tighten them an
additional quarter-turn. The handle is not properly installed
without this extra tightening.
7. Save the hex key and all instructions.
Remove the Handles
1. While holding the handle, insert the short end of the hex key
into a setscrew hole and slightly rotate the hex key until it is
engaged in the setscrew.
2. Using a right to left motion loosen the setscrew a quarter-turn
at a time.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the other setscrew. Slowly pull the
handle away from the door or drawer.
4. If necessary, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the
shoulder screws from the door.
Refrigerator Leveling, Door Closing
and Alignment
The base grille covers the adjustable brake feet and roller
assemblies located at the bottom of the refrigerator below the
freezer drawer. Before making any adjustments, remove the base
grille and move the refrigerator to its final location.
Tools Needed: ¹⁄₄" hex nut driver
Tools Provided: ¹⁄₈" hex key wrench
1. Remove the base grille. Using both hands, grasp the grille
firmly and pull it toward you. Open the freezer drawer to
access the brake feet.
NOTE: To allow the refrigerator to roll easier, raise the break
feet by turning them counterclockwise. The front rollers will
be touching the floor.
2. Move the refrigerator to its final location.
3. Using the ¹⁄₄" hex nut driver, lower the brake feet. Turn them
clockwise, until the rollers are off the floor and both brake feet
are snug against the floor. This keeps the refrigerator from
rolling forward when opening the refrigerator doors or freezer
drawer.
IMPORTANT: If you need to make further adjustments
involving the brake feet, you must turn both brake feet the
same amount to keep the refrigerator level.
4. Make sure the doors close easily. If you are satisfied with the
door opening and closing, skip the next section and go to
“Align the Doors.” If, however, the doors do not close easily
or the doors pop open, adjust the tilt.
To Adjust the Cabinet Tilt:
■ Open the freezer drawer. Use a ¹⁄₄" hex nut driver to turn
both brake feet clockwise the same amount. This will
raise the front of the refrigerator. It may take several turns
to allow the doors to close easier.
NOTE: Having someone push against the top of the
refrigerator takes some weight off the brake feet. This
makes it easier to turn them.
