This Use & Care Guide provides general installation
and operating instructions for your model. We
recommend using a service or kitchen contracting
professional to install your refrigerator. Use the
refrigerator only as instructed in this Use & Care
Guide. Before starting the refrigerator, follow these
important first steps.
Location
• Choose a place that is near a grounded, non-
GFCI, electrical outlet. Do Not use an extension
cord or an adapter plug.
• If possible, place the refrigerator out of direct
sunlight and away from the range, dishwasher, or
other heat sources.
• The refrigerator must be installed on a floor that
is level and strong enough to support a fully
loaded refrigerator.
• Consider water supply availability for models
equipped with an automatic ice maker.
CAUTION
DO NOT install the refrigerator where the temperature
will drop below 55°F (13°C) or rise above 110°F
(43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain
proper temperatures inside the refrigerator.
DO NOT block the toe grille on the lower front of your
refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation is essential for
the proper operation of your refrigerator.

Installation
• Allow the following clearances for ease of
installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing
and electrical connections:
Sides & Top
Back
NOTE
If your refrigerator is placed with the door hinge
against a wall, you may have to allow additional space
so the door can be opened wider.
Door opening
Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy
access to a counter when removing food. For best
use of refrigerator drawers and freezer baskets, the
refrigerator should be in a position where both can be
fully opened.
Guidelines for final positioning
of your refrigerator
• All four corners of the cabinet must rest firmly on
the floor.
• The cabinet should be level at the front and rear.
• The sides should tilt ¼ inch (6 mm) from front
to back (to ensure that doors close and seal
properly).
• Doors should align with each other and be level.
