(272 kg), door panels and contents of the refrigerator.
Flooring under refrigerator must be at same level as the room.

Opening Dimensions
IMPORTANT:
■ The width of the opening (Width A), from side to side, must be
as specified for your model, for at least 2" (5.08 cm) back
from the face of the cabinet.
NOTE: If your opening does not meet this requirement, you
will need to make modifications.
■ A solid soffit or wall cabinet must be installed 84" (213.4 cm)
above the floor. If the solid soffit is higher than 84" (213.4 cm)
or one is not available, then the refrigerator must be braced.
If the anti-tip boards are needed, they must be attached to
the rear wall studs so that there is 84" (213.4 cm) from the
bottom of the anti-tip board to the floor. See “Install Anti-Tip
Boards” for more information.
■ For a fully integrated installation, a minimum of 6" (15.24 cm)
of open space above the refrigerator is required. See “Fully
Integrated Installation.” Anti-tip boards are required. See
“Install Anti-Tip Boards” for more information.
■ A grounded 3 prong electrical outlet should be located within
a specified number of inches from the right-hand side
cabinets or end panel. See the chart following the graphic for
the number of inches required for your model. For more
information, see “Electrical Requirements.”
■ 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. See
“Water Supply Requirements” for more information.
