Opening Requirements

IMPORTANT:
An Armoire installation requires an open soffit. For a fully
integrated installation, a minimum of 6" (15.24 cm) of open
space above the refrigerator is required. See "Fully Integrated
Installation." Anti-tip boards are required. See "Install Anti-Tip
Boards" in the Installation Instructions provided with the
refrigerator for more information.
The width of the opening, 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. If your opening does not meet this
requirement, you will need to make modifications.
The depth of the opening from the front of the cabinet to the
back wall must be 25" (63.5 cm) minimum to achieve a flush
installation.
A grounded 3 prong electrical outlet should be placed within
4" (10.2 cm) of the right side cabinets or end panel. See
"Electrical Requirements" in the Installation Instructions
provided with the refrigerator.
The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinets on
either side of the refrigerator or some other easily accessible
area. If the water shutoff valve is not in the cabinets, the
plumbing for the water line can come through the floor. See
"Water Supply Requirements" in the Installation Instructions
provided with the refrigerator.
