Area Requirements

Verify the following:

•Floors can support refrigerator’s weight plus approximately 1200 pounds (544 kg) of food weight.

•Finished kitchen floor height is level. Refrigerator must be adjusted if the floor heights are not equal to make sure air vents are not obstructed.

•Remove anything attached to rear or side walls that can obstruct refrigerator opening.

•Cutout dimensions are accurate.

•Electrical outlet is in correct location.

Do not install this refrigerator-freezer next to any other refrigerator. Installing this refrigerator-freezer next to any other refrigerator or freezer can cause condensation or cause damage to the appliance.

Electrical Requirement

If codes require a separate grounding circuit to be used, have a qualified electrician install the circuit.

ELECTROCUTION HAZARD

Electrical Grounding Required. This appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) polarized plug for your protection against possible shock hazards.

•DO NOT remove the round grounding prong from the plug.

•DO NOT use a two-prong grounding adapter.

•DO NOT use an extension cord to connect power to the unit.

To protect the refrigerator from possible damage, allow the appliance to stand 1/2 to 1 hour in place before turning the electricity on. This allows the refrigerant and system lubrication to reach equilibrium.
