Location Requirements

These opening dimensions are specific to the installation of two
36" (91.4 cm) bottom-mount refrigerators side by side. The
refrigerators can be recessed into an opening between cabinets
or installed at the end of a cabinet run using a side panel to
enclose the refrigerators.

IMPORTANT:

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

Do not install the refrigerators near an oven, radiator, or
other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature
will fall below 55°F (13°C).

Floor must support the combined refrigerator weights,
more than 1,200 lbs (544 kg), door panels and contents of
the refrigerator.

Ceiling height must allow for side or front tipping radius.
See “Tipping Radius” in the Installation Instructions
provided with the refrigerators.

Location should permit doors to open fully. See “Door
Swing Dimensions” in the Installation Instructions
provided with the refrigerators.

Location must permit top grille removal. See “Opening
Dimensions” in the “Location Requirements” section of
the Installation Instructions provided with the
refrigerators.

A grounded 3 prong electrical outlet should be placed
within 4" (10.2 cm) of the right side of each refrigerator.
See “Electrical Requirements” in the Installation
Instructions provided with the refrigerators.

The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinets
on either side of the refrigerators 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” in the Installation Instructions provided
with the refrigerators.
