This Use & Care Guide provides general installation
and operating instructionsfor 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.
,, Choose a place that is near a grounded, non-
G FCI, 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°O) 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
¾ inch (9.5 mm)
Back
1 inch (25.4 mm)
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
NOTE
The refrigerator doors are designed to shut by
themselves within a 20 degree opening.
Your refrigerator should be positioned to aitow 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 finai positioning
of your refrigerator
o All four corners of the cabinet must rest firmly on
the floor.
e
o
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.
Most of these conditions
can be met by raising or
lowering the adjustable
front rollers.
