INSTALLATION
This Use & Care Guide provides general
installation and operating instructions for
your model. We recommend using a service
or kitchen contracting professional to install
your refrigerator. Use the refrigerator only as
instructed in this Use & Care Guide. Before
starting the refrigerator, follow these
important first steps.
Location
• Choose a place that is near a grounded,
non-GFCI, 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.
Installation
• Allow the following clearances for ease
of installation, proper air circulation, and
plumbing and electrical connections:

easy access to a counter when removing
food. For best use of refrigerator drawers and
freezer baskets, the refrigerator should be in a
position where both can be fully opened.

o Not install the refrigerator where the
temperature will drop below 55°F (13°C) or
rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor

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.
