The Installation Space
Selecting the best location for the refrigerator
• A location with easy access to the water supply.
• A location without direct exposure to sunlight.
• A location with a leveled floor.
• A location with enough space for the refrigerator doors to open easily.
• A location that allows sufficient space to the right, left, back and top for air circulation.
• A location that allows you to move the refrigerator easily if it needs maintenance or service.
•
Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing.
This will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower.
• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below 50 ºF (10 ºC).
• Do not locate the refrigerator where it may become wet.
FLOORING
For proper installation, this refrigerator must be
placed on a leveled surface of hard material that
is the same height as the rest of the flooring.
This surface should be strong enough to support
a fully loaded refrigerator, or approximately 359lbs
(165kg). To protect the finish of the flooring, cut a
large section of the cardboard carton and place
it under the refrigerator where you are working.
When moving a refrigerator, you need to pull and
push it straight forwards or back.
Do not wiggle it from side to side.

If the refrigerator does not have enough space, the internal cooling system may not work properly.
If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections.
When you install the refrigerator next to a fixed wall, you need a minimum clearance of 3 ¾” (95mm)
between the refrigerator and wall to allow the door to swing open.
First thing! Make sure that you can easily move your refrigerator to its final location by measuring doorways
(both width and height), thresholds, ceilings, stairways, etc.
