Location Requirements
The refrigerator can be recessed in an opening between cabinets
or installed at the end of a cabinet run using a side panel to
enclose the refrigerator.
IMPORTANT:
■Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
■Do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or
other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature
will fall below 55°F (13°C).
■Floor must support the refrigerator weight, more than
600 lbs. (272 kg), door panels and contents of the
refrigerator.
■Ceiling height must allow for side or front tipping radius.
See “Tipping Radius.”
■Location should permit doors to open fully. See “Door
Swing Dimensions.”
■Location must permit top grille removal. See “Opening
Dimensions.”

Opening Dimensions

■The solid soffit must be within 1" (2.5 cm) maximum above
the refrigerator. If the solid soffit is higher than 1" (2.5cm) or
one is not available, then the refrigerator must be braced to
prevent tipping during use.
If the anti-tip boards are needed, they must be attached to
the rear wall studs 80" to 90" (203cm to 229 cm) above the
floor. See “Install Anti-Tip Boards” for more information.
NOTE: A clearance of ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) must be maintained above
the top grille in order for the top grille to be removed.
■A grounded 3 prong electrical outlet should be placed within
4" (10.2 cm) of the right side cabinets or end panel. See
“Electrical Requirements” for additional information.
■The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet on
either side of the refrigerator or some other easily accessible
area. If the water shutoff valve is not in the cabinets, the
plumbing for the water line can come through the floor or the
back wall. See “Water Supply Requirements” for more
information.
