This Use & Care Guide provides general
installation and operating instructions
for your model. We recommend using a
service or kitchen contracting professional
to install the refrigerator. Use the
refrigerator only as instructed in this
Use & Care Guide. Before starting the
refrigerator, follow these important first
steps.
Location
Choose a place that is near a grounded,
non-GFCI, electrical outlet. Do Not use an
extension cord or an adapter plug.
If possible, place the refrigerator out of
direct sunlight and away from the range,
dishwasher, or other heat sources.
The refrigerator must be installed on a
floor that is level and strong enough to
support a fully loaded refrigerator.

CAUTION
Do Not install the refrigerator where
the temperature will drop below 55°F
(13°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C).
The compressor will not be able to
maintain proper temperatures inside
the refrigerator.
Do Not block the lower front of your
refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation
is essential for the proper operation of
your refrigerator.
Installation
Allow the following clearances for ease
of installation, proper air circulation, and
plumbing and electrical connections:

NOTE
If your refrigerator is placed with the
door hinge side against a wall, you may
have to allow additional space so the
door can be opened wider.
Door opening
Your refrigerator should be positioned
to allow easy access to a counter when
removing food. For best use of refrigerator
and freezer drawers, the refrigerator
should be in a position where both can be
fully opened.
