INSTALLATION

Required Tools

You will need the following tools:

This Use & Care Guide provides general installation and operating instructions for 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.

Location

•Choose a place that is near a grounded, non-GFCI, 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.

Installation

•Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical connections:

Sides & Top	3/8 inch (9.5 mm)
Back	1 inch (25.4 mm)

NOTE

If your refrigerator is placed with the door hinge side against a wall, you may have to allow additional space so the door can be opened wider.

Door opening

Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow 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.

CAUTION

Do Not install the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 55°F (13°C) 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.
