•A location with a leveled floor.

•A location with enough space for the refrigerator doors to open easily.

If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections.

When you install the refrigerator next to a fixed wall, minimum clearance is 3 ¾” (95mm) between the refrigerator and wall to allow the door to swing open.

First thing! Make sure that you can easily move your refrigerator to its final location by measuring doorways (both width and height), thresholds, ceilings, stairways, etc.

FLOORING

For proper installation, this refrigerator must be placed on a leveled surface of hard material that is the same height as the rest of the flooring. This surface should be strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator, or approximately 660lbs(299kg). To protect the finish of the flooring, cut a large section of the cardboard carton and place under the refrigerator where you are working. When moving a refrigerator, it is needed to pull and push in the back-and-forth direction.
