Ventilation Requirements 30" and 60" Models
The refrigerator is designed to allow proper air flow when the
appliance is installed up against the wall.
A minimum space of 1 1/2" is required when a cabinet is built
above.

DO NOT restrict the air flow. The opening can either
be directly over the appliance
1
, above the cabinet
and below the ceiling

or through a vent installed
in a soffit

.
The cabinet height as specified at 80” (2032 mm)
will create a 1-5/16 (33 mm) gap above the
appliance providing optimal air flow over the top of
the appliance for its efficient operation.
To have the same air flow for CS 1400 appliances,
the cabinet opening height must be 73-3/4"
minimum.
Be sure to consider the possibility of having to
raise some of the leveling legs in order to level the
appliance when installing. If you adjust the height
of the appliance - it will effectively reduce air flow.
Therefore leave yourself some room for adjustment.
IMPORTANT
The section below the freezer door and the floor
must not be covered.
