First Steps
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 the automatic ice maker.
Installation
•Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will drop below 60°F (15°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be able to maintain proper temperatures.
•In a recessed installation, allow an extra 1/2 inch
•If the hinge side of the unit will be placed against a wall, allow a 1 3/4 inch (44 mm) space between the wall and the refrigerator to permit proper door swing.
