INSTALLATION

ENGLISH

Dimensions and Clearances

 

Check the dimensions of the appliance and the installation path to ensure there is sufficient room to move the 

refrigerator through doors or narrow openings.

 

If an opening is too narrow to fit the refrigerator through, remove the refrigerator doors. See Removing/

Assembling the Doors and Drawers in this manual.

 

The installation location chosen for the refrigerator should allow space behind the unit for connections and 

airflow and space in front to open the doors and drawers.

 

Too small of a distance from adjacent items may result in lowered freezing capability and increased electricity 

consumption charges. Allow at least 24 inches (610 mm) in front of the refrigerator to open the doors, and at 

least 2 inches (50.8 mm) between the back of the refrigerator and the wall.
