INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR

REFRIGERATOR LOCATION

•Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below 60°F (16°C) because it will not run often enough to maintain proper temperatures.

•Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go above 100°F (37°C) because it will not perform properly.

•Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.

CLEARANCES

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

Sides	1/8” (3 mm)
Top	1” (25 mm)	Cabinet/Hinge Cover
Back	2” (50 mm)

REMOVING THE REFRIGERATOR DOORS

•IMPORTANT NOTE: This refrigerator is 361/4” deep (311/4” for CD models). Doors and passageways leading to the installation location must be at least 361/4” wide in order to leave the doors and handles attached to the refrigerator while transporting it into the installation location. If passageways are less than 361/4”, the refrigerator doors and handles can easily be scratched and damaged.

The top cap and doors can be removed to allow the refrigerator to be safely moved indoors. If passageways are less than 311/4”, start with Step 1.

•If it is not necessary to remove doors, skip to Step

11. Leave tape and all packaging on doors until the refrigerator is in the final location.

•NOTE: Use a padded hand truck to move this refrigerator. Place the refrigerator on the hand truck with a side against the truck. We strongly recommend that TWO PEOPLE move and complete this installation.
