9. With the drawer(s) closed, place the handle onto the shoulder

screws so that the setscrews are facing down toward the floor.

10. Firmly push the handle toward the drawer until the handle

base is flush against the drawer.

11. 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.

12. 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.

13. Repeat steps 11 and 12 to fasten the right-hand setscrew to

the shoulder screw.

14. 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.

15. For some models, repeat steps 9 through 14 to install a handle

on the second drawer.

16. 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 driver

Tools Provided:

¹⁄₈" hex key wrench

1. Remove the base grille. 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. Lower the brake feet, by turning 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 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.
