INSTALLATION
NOTE
If your refrigerator is placed with the
door hinge side against a wall, you may
have to allow additional space for the
handle so the door can be opened wider.
This Use & Care Guide provides general
operating instructions for your model.
Use the appliance only as instructed in
this Use & Care Guide. Before starting the
unit, follow these important first steps.
Location
Choose a place that is near a ground-
ed 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.
Consider water supply availability for
models equipped with an automat-
ic ice maker. If you do not hook up
water to the refrigerator, remember
to turn the ice maker o.
Guidelines for final positioning of
your refrigerator:
All 4 corners of the cabinet must rest
firmly on the floor.
The cabinet should be level at the
front and rear.
The sides should tilt ¼" (6 mm) from
front to back (to ensure that doors
close and seal properly).
Doors should align with each other
and be level.
Installation
Installation clearances
Allow the following clearances for ease
of installation, proper air circulation, and
plumbing and electrical connections:
Top 3.94" 100 mm
Sides 1.57" 40 mm
Back 1.18" 30 mm
Setting the Anti-tip Brackets
The anti-tip brackets are located on the
lower front corners of the cabinet. Lower
the anti-tip brackets on each side clock-
wise until they contact the floor. Do not
raise the cabinet.

WARNING
The anti-tip bracket must
be installed according
to the instructions in
your Use & Care Manual.
Failure to do so will result
in injury.
CAUTION
Do not install the refrigerator where the
temperature will drop below 50°F (10°C)
or rise above 110°F (43°C). The compres-
sor will not be able to maintain proper
temperatures inside the refrigerator.
