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.

■ It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near

an oven, radiator, or other heat source.

■ Do not install 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 tipping radius. See “Tipping

Radius.”

■ Location should permit door to open fully. See “Door Swing

Dimensions.”

■ Location must permit top grille removal. See “Opening

Dimensions.”

Opening Dimensions

■ To avoid tipping during use, the solid soffit must be within 1"

(2.5 cm) maximum above the refrigerator. If the solid soffit is

higher than 1" (2.5 cm) or one is not available, then the

refrigerator must be braced.

If anti-tip boards are needed, they must be installed to the rear

wall studs so that the bottom of the anti-tip board is 84"

(213.4 cm) from the floor. See “Install Anti-Tip Boards” for

more information.

NOTES:

■ A clearance of ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) must be maintained above the

top grille in order for the top grille to be removed.

■ Do not remove the foam gasket on top of the compressor

cover unless removal is necessary to fit the unit under a

soffit. Removal of the gasket will cause loss in cooling

efficiency.

■ If installing under a solid soffit, after installation raise the

leveling legs so that the gasket is pressed snugly against

the soffit.

■ 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 specific

information.

NOTE: Flooring under refrigerator must be at same level as the

room.
