Location Requirements

WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion,
or fire.
NOTES:
The cabinet depth refrigerator can be installed into a
recessed opening, at the end of cabinets or as a freestanding
refrigerator.
If you are installing the refrigerator to fit flush with the front of
the base cabinets, all shoe molding and baseboards must be
removed from the rear of the refrigerator opening.
A trim kit is available for those installations in which the
refrigerator will not fit flush. See the "Assistance or Service"
section in the Use and Care Guide for ordering information.
For full-overlay cabinet doors, the height of the opening must
be 72¹⁄₈ in. (183.2 cm).
Location should permit doors to open fully. See the "Door
Swing Dimensions" section.
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).
Floor must support refrigerator weight (more than 600 lbs.
[272 kg], door panels and contents).

Electrical Requirements

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in
death, fire, or electrical shock.
Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical
connection:
Recommended grounding method
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 ampere fused, grounded
electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate
circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet
that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an
extension cord.
IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) protected outlet, nuisance
tripping of the power supply may occur, resulting in loss of
cooling. Food quality and flavor may be affected. If nuisance
tripping has occurred, and if the condition of the food appears
poor, dispose of it.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or
removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator
or Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and then
disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you
are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source
and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control
depending on the model) to the desired setting.
