Installation Instructions
Proper installation will ensure this refrigerator operates
most efficiently.
Spacing Requirements
WARNING: Keep flammable materials and
vapors, such as gasoline away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, fire, or
burns.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator,
allow for a 1" (2.5 cm) space at the top and sides of
your refrigerator.
If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you
leave some extra space at the back to allow for the
water line connection. The refrigerator can be flush
with the back wall if you do not have an ice maker
installed.
If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed
wall, leave 2 3/4"minimum on each side (depending
on your model) to allow for the door to swing open
90 °
NOTE: Do not install the refrigerator near an oven,
radiator, or other heat source, nor in a location where
the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).
