REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION
GETTING READY TO INSTALL
THE REFRIGERATOR
Congratulations on your purchase of the Kenmore Elite™
Side-By-Side Refrigerator. We hope you enjoy the many
state-of-the-art features and efficiencies that this new
appliance offers.
Selecting the best location for the refrigerator.
• A location with easy access to the water supply.
• A location without direct exposure to sunlight.
• A location with level (or nearly level) flooring.
• A location with enough space for the refrigerator doors
to open easily.
• Allow sufficient space for air circulation of the internal
cooling system. If the refrigerator is not level or does not
have enough space, the internal cooling system may not
work properly.
CLEARANCES
• Allow clearance to the right, left, back, and top when
installing. (See drawing in column 1.) This will help
reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills
lower.
• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will
go below 50°F (10°C).
• Make sure to disconnect the water supply line BEFORE
removing the freezer door. See “Refrigerator and
Freezer Door Removal and Installation” on page 11 to
avoid damage.
A
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the floor while moving the
refrigerator, always make sure the front leveling legs
are in the up position (above the floor). Refer to
“Positioning and Leveling the Refrigerator” on page 15.
First thing! Make sure that you can easily move your
refrigerator to its final location by measuring doorways
(both width and height), thresholds, ceilings, stairways, etc.

flooring, cut a large section of the cardboard carton and
place under the refrigerator where you are working. When
moving, be sure to pull the unit straight out and push the
unit straight in.
