Location
1. Choose a place that is near a grounded electrical
outlet. Do Not use an extension cord or an adapter
plug.
2. If possible, place the freezer and/or refrigerator
out of direct sunlight and away from the range,
dishwasher or other heat sources.
3. The freezer and/or refrigerator must be installed on
a floor that is level and strong enough to support a
fully loaded freezer.
4. Consider water supply availability for models
equipped with an automatic ice maker.
5. The freezer and/or refrigerator should be located
where surrounding temperature will not exceed
110ºF (43ºC) or drop below 40°F (5°C).
6. For ease of installation, proper air circulation and
electrical connections, see Figure 2-1 for
recommended clearances.
7. For dynamic condenser models, DO NOT block
the toe grille on the lower front of your freezer.
Sufficient air circulation is essential for the proper
operation of your freezer and/or refrigerator.
NOTE
The exterior walls of the refrigerator/freezer may
become quite warm as the compressor works to
transfer heat from the inside. Temperatures as much
as 30°F warmer than room temperatures can be
expected.
NOTE
If your refrigerator and/or freezer is placed with the
door hinge side against a wall, you may have to allow
additional space so the door can be opened wider.
