Installation Guide

6
This Use & Care Guide provides general installation and
operating instructions for your model. We recommend using
a service or kitchen contracting professional to install your
refrigerator. Use the refrigerator only as instructed in this Use
& Care Guide.
Before starting the refrigerator, follow
these important fi rst 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 fl oor that is
level and strong enough to support a fully loaded
refrigerator.
• Consider water supply availability for models
equipped with an automatic ice maker.
Installation
• Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical
connections:
Sides & Top
⅜ inch (9.5 mm)
Back 1 inch (25.4 mm)
Door opening
Installation
Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy access to
a counter when removing food. For best use of refrigerator
drawers and freezer baskets, the refrigerator should be in a
position where both can be fully opened.
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 toe grille on the lower front
of your refrigerator. Suffi cient air circulation
is essential for the proper operation of your
refrigerator.
NOTE
If your refrigerator is placed with the door hinge against a
wall, you may have to allow additional space so the door
can be opened wider.
NOTE
The refrigerator doors are designed to shut by themselves
within a 20 degree opening.
