■ It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near
an oven, radiator, or other heat source.
■ Do not install in a location where the temperature will fall
below 55°F (13°C).
■ Floor must support the refrigerator weight, more than 600 lbs
(272 kg), door panels and contents of the refrigerator.
■
Ceiling height must allow for side tipping radius. See "Tipping
Radius."
■
Location should permit door to open fully. See "Door Swing
Dimensions."
■ Location must permit top grille removal. See "Opening
Dimensions."
Opening Dimensions
■
To avoid tipping during use, the solid soffit must be within 1"
(2.5 cm) maximum above the refrigerator. If the solid soffit is
higher than 1" (2.5 cm) or one is not available, then the
refrigerator must be braced.
If anti-tip boards are needed, they must be installed to the
rear wall studs so that the bottom of the anti-tip board is 84"
(213.4 cm) from the floor. See "Install Anti-Tip Boards" for
more information.
NOTES:
A clearance of ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) must be maintained above the
■
top grille in order for the top grille to be removed.
■ Do not remove the foam gasket on top of the compressor
cover unless removal is necessary to fit the unit under a
soffit. Removal of the gasket will cause loss in cooling
efficiency.
■
If installing under a solid soffit, after installation raise the
leveling legs so that the gasket is pressed snugly against
the soffit.
