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 side 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.
