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
