Refrigerator Location

The product should not be installed in the
following locations:
• Where the temperature will go below 60°F
(16°C) because it will not run often enough to
maintain proper temperatures.
• Where the temperature will go above 100°F
(37°C) because it will not perform properly.
• In a location exposed to water (rain, etc.) or
direct sunlight.
• The refrigerator should be installed on a floor
strong enough to support it fully loaded.
NOTE: Not recommended for installation on
carpeted flooring.

Additional Specifications

• 115 volt 60Hz, 15 or 20-amp power supply is
required.

or circuit breaker is recommended.

These refrigerators should have the following
clearances for ease of installation, proper air
circulation, and enough room for plumbing and
electrical connections.

the front is raised enough that the doors close
easily when opened about halfway.
To Adjust the Leveling Legs:

counterclockwise to lower the refrigerator.
