environments.
■ Farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other
residential type environments.
■ Bed and breakfast type environments.
■ Catering and similar non-retail applications.
■ Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
■ Floor must support the refrigerator weight, more than

■ Ceiling height must allow for side tipping radius. See “Tipping
Radius.”
■ Location should permit door to open fully. See “Door Swing
Dimensions.”
■ Location must permit top grille removal. See “Opening
Dimensions.”
NOTE: The refrigerator is intended for use in a location where
the temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a
maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature range
for optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and
provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F (32°C).
It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near a
heat source, such as an oven or radiator.
Opening Dimensions
■ To avoid tipping during use, the solid soft must be within
1" (2.5 cm) maximum above the refrigerator. If the solid soft
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 oor. 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 t the unit under a
soft. Removal of the gasket will cause loss in cooling
efciency.
■ If installing under a solid soft, after, installation raise the
leveling legs so that the gasket is pressed snugly against
the soft.
■ A grounded 3 prong electrical outlet should be located
within a specied number of inches from the right-hand
side cabinets or end panel. See the chart following the
graphic for the number of inches required for your model.
