D
o 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 temperatures
inside the refrigerator.
Do Not block the toe grille on the lower front
of your refrigerator. Sufficient air circulation
is essential for the proper operation of your
refrigerator.
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.

Allow the following clearances for ease of
installation, proper air circulation, and plumbing
and electrical connections:
