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 posi-
tioning 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.
