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.
CAUTION
!
DO NOT install the refrigerator where the temperature will
drop below 55°F (13°C) or rise above 110°F (43°C). The
compressor will not be able to maintain proper tempera-
tures inside the refrigerator.
DO NOT block the toe grille on the lower front of your re-
frigerator. Sufficient air circulation is essential for the proper
operation of your refrigerator.

Installation
•
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation, and plumbing and electrical con-
nections:
Sides & Top
Back
NOTE
If your refrigerator is placed with the door hinge against a
wall, you may have to allow additional space so the door
can be opened wider.
Door opening
NOTE
The refrigerator doors are designed to shut by themselves
within a 20 degree opening.
Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy access
to a counter when removing food. For best use of refrigera-
tor drawers and freezer baskets, the refrigerator should be
in a position where both can be fully opened.
Guidelines for final positioning of your refrig-
erator
•
All four corners of the cabinet must rest firmly on the
floor.
•
The cabinet should be level at the front and rear.
•
The sides should tilt ¼ inch (6 mm) from front to back
(to ensure that doors close and seal properly).
•
Doors should align with each other and be level.
Most of these conditions can be met by raising or
lowering the adjustable front rollers.
