■
See "Opening Dimensions".
NOTE: The refrigerator is intended for use in a location where
the temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a
maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature
range for optimum performance, which reduces electricity
usage and provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C)
and 90°F (32°C). It is recommended that you do not install
the refrigerator near a heat source, such as an oven or
radiator.
Opening Dimensions
IMPORTANT:
The width of the opening (Width A), from side to side, must
■
be as specified for your model, for at least 2" (5.08 cm) back
from the face of the cabinet.
NOTE: If your opening does not meet this requirement, you
will need to make modifications.
A solid soffit or wall cabinet must be installed 84" (213.4 cm)
■
above the floor. If the solid soffit is higher than 84" (213.4 cm)
or one is not available, then the refrigerator must be braced.
If anti-tip boards are needed, they must be attached to the
rear wall studs so that there is 84" (213.4 cm) from the bottom
of the anti-tip board to 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 from the 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.
