Installation

This Use & Care Manual provides specific operating instructions for your model. Use the refrigerator only as instructed in this Use & Care Manual. Before starting the refrigerator, follow these important first steps.

LOCATION

•Choose a place that is near a grounded 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 or water dispenser.

INSTALLATION

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.

Sides & Top --------------- 3/8” Back ------------------------ 1”

DOOR OPENING
