Your counter-depth refrigerator is designed to be part of a built-in kitchen cabinet system. Be sure to coordinate site preparation and installation with your kitchen contractor.

Include these minimum guidelines in your site preparation:

•Choose a place near a grounded electrical outlet.

•Do not use an extension cord or an adapter plug.

•Avoid direct sunlight and close proximity to a range, dishwasher or other heat source.

•Floor should be level and able to support a fully loaded refrigerator.

•The refrigerator’s Ice & Water Dispenser requires water supply access.

•Plan for easy access to counter tops when removing food.

•For complete access to drawers and freezer baskets, doors must be able to fully open.

NOTE

Information about cabinetry construction for Electrolux products is available for contractors. Call 1-877-435-3287.

• Remove the entrance door if one exists.

• Remove the refrigerator doors (see how in your Use & Care Guide).

Plug in the power cord, and push the refrigerator straight back into place.

If you are installing your refrigerator without connecting it to a water supply, make sure the ice maker’s power switch is turned Off (see the Use & Care Guide for more details).
