LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

IMPORTANT : 

This refrigerator is designed for indoor, 

household use only.
This appliance is intended to be used in household and 

similar applications such as:

Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working 

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.

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.

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

It is recommended that you do not install the 

refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat 

source.

Do not install in a location where the temperature will 

fall below 55°F (13°C).

Floor must support the refrigerator weight, more 

than 600 lbs (272 kg), door panels and contents of 

the refrigerator. Flooring under refrigerator must be 

at same level as the room. Face of cabinetry must be 

plumb.

Location should permit door to open fully. See “Door 

Swing Dimensions.”

Location must permit top grille removal. See 

“Opening Dimensions.”

OPENING DIMENSIONS

IMPORTANT :

The width of the opening (Width A), from side to side, 

must be as specified for your model for at least  

2" (5.08 cm) back from the face of the cabinet.

NOTE :

 If your opening does not meet this requirement, 

you will need to make modifications.

A solid soffit or wall cabinet must be installed  

84" (213.4 cm) above the floor. If the solid soffit is 

higher than 84" (213.4 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 floor. See 

“Install Anti-Tip Boards” for more information.

NOTES :

Do not remove the foam gasket from the top of the 

compressor cover unless removal is necessary to fit 

the unit under a soffit. Removal of the gasket will 

cause loss in cooling efficiency.

If installing under a solid soffit, after installation raise 

the leveling legs so that the gasket is pressed snugly 

against the soffit.

A grounded 3 prong electrical outlet should be 

located within a specified 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. For more information, see 

“Electrical Requirements.”
