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 the anti-tip boards are needed, they must be attached to
the rear wall studs 80" to 90" (203 to 229 cm) above the floor.
See “Install Anti-Tip Boards” for more information.
NOTE: A clearance of ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) must be maintained in front
of the refrigerator’s side trim in order for the top grille to be
removed.
■ 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.
