■
Radius."

Opening Dimensions
To avoid tipping during use, the solid soffit must be within
■
1" (2.5 cm) maximum above the refrigerator. If the solid soffit
is higher than 1" (2.5 cm) or one is not available, then the
refrigerator must be braced.
If anti-tip boards are needed, they must be installed to the
rear wall studs so that the bottom of the anti-tip board is
84" (213.4 cm) from the floor. See "Install Anti-Tip Boards" for
more information.
NOTES:
A clearance of 1/2" (1.3 cm) must be maintained above
■
the top grille in order for the top grille to be removed.
Do not remove the foam gasket on top of the compressor
■
cover unless removal is necessary to fit the unit under a
soffit. Removal of the gasket will cause loss in cooling
efficiency.
If installing under a solid soffit, after, installation raise the
■
leveling legs so that the gasket is pressed snugly against
the soffit.
