KitchenAid Bottom-Mount Refrigerator Manual De Usuario

Your refrigerator has two front adjustable rollers which are at the 
base of the refrigerator on either side. If your refrigerator seems 
unsteady or you want the doors to close easier, adjust the 
refrigerator's tilt using the instructions below:

Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet. 

Move the refrigerator into its final position. 

Remove the base grille and the bottom hinge covers (see 
“Base Grille” section). The two roller adjustment screws are 
part of the front roller assemblies.

Use a screwdriver or 

³⁄₈ in. hex driver to adjust the roller 

adjustment screws. Turn the roller adjustment screw to the 
right to raise that side of the refrigerator or turn the roller 
adjustment screw to the left to lower that side. It may take 
several turns of the roller adjustment screws to adjust the tilt 
of the refrigerator. 

 Having someone push against the top of the 

refrigerator takes some weight off the roller adjustment 
screws and rollers. This makes it easier to adjust the screws.

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 roller adjustment screws to 
the right. It may take several more turns, and you should turn 
both roller adjustment screws the same amount.

Lower the stabilizing foot by turning it clockwise until it is 
firmly against floor. 

 Drawer freezer models have a stabilizing foot on each 

side which must be lowered by turning clockwise.

Replace the base grille.

Please read before using the water system.

Immediately after installation, follow the steps below to make 
sure that the water system is properly cleaned.

Turn off the ice maker by opening the freezer door and lifting 
up the wire shutoff arm as shown.

Install the interior water filter cartridge. The interior water filter 
mounting bracket is located on the top right side of the 
refrigerator compartment.

■

Remove blue bypass cap and retain for later use.

■

Carefully remove the interior water filter cartridge from its 
packaging. Remove the sealing label from end of filter 
and insert into filter head.

■

Gently rotate filter clockwise until filter stops, and snap 
filter cover closed.

Flush the water system by dispensing and discarding 2 to 3 
gal. (8 to 12 L) of water. Cleaning the system will take 
approximately 6 to 7 minutes and will help clear air from the 
line. Additional flushing may be required in some households.

As air is cleared from the system, water may spurt out 

of the dispenser.

Inspect the filter system for water leaks. If you see water 
leaks, see the “Troubleshooting” section.

Turn on the ice maker by opening the freezer door and 
lowering the wire shutoff arm as shown.

 

Please refer to the 

“Ice Maker” section for further instructions on the operation 
of your ice maker.

■

Allow 24 hours to produce the first batch of ice. 

■

Discard the first three batches of ice produced.
