Installation Information
These refrigerators are designed for free-standing
installation. A 1" clearance is recommended at the
top and 1/2" at the rear. The floor or mounting sur-
face should be level and capable of supporting the
weight of the refrigerator when it is fully loaded.
Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature
will be below 55°F (13°C). At these temperatures the
refrigerator will not run often enough to maintain
proper temperatures.
