NOTE: The refrigerator is intended for use in a location
where the temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F
(13°C) to a maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room
temperature range for optimum performance, which
reduces electricity usage and provides superior cooling, is
between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F (32°C). It is recommended
that you do not install the refrigerator near a heat source,
such as an oven or radiator.
IMPORTANT:
Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Floor must support the refrigerator weight, more
than 600 lbs (272 kg), door panels and contents of
the refrigerator. Flooring under refrigerator must be
at same level as the room. Face of cabinetry must be
plumb.
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 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 from the 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.
