6 Installation
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 appliance. Use the unit only
as instructed in this Use & Care Guide.
Before starting the appliance, 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 unit out of direct
sunlight and away from the range,
dishwasher, or other heat sources.
• The appliance must be installed on a
floor that is level and strong enough
to support a fully loaded unit.
• Consider water supply availability for
models equipped with an automatic
ice maker.
Installation
• Allow the following clearances
for ease of installation, proper
air circulation, and plumbing and
electrical connections:
Sides
⅜
” (9.5 mm)
Top & Back 1” (25.4 mm)
• Allow for trim kit if it to be installed
with the unit.
CAUTION
DO NOT install the appliance where the
temperature will drop below 40°F (13°C) or
rise above 110°F (43°C). The compressor
will not be able to maintain proper
temperatures inside the unit.
DO NOT block the toe grille on the
lower front of your appliance. Sufficient
air circulation is essential for the proper
operation of your unit.
NOTE
If your appliance is placed with the door
hinge against a wall, you may have to
allow additional space so the door can
be opened wider.
NOTE
The appliance doors are designed to shut
by themselves within a 20-degree opening.
