INSTALLATION

ENGLISH

Dimensions and Clearances

• Check the dimensions of the appliance and the installation path to ensure there is sufficient room to 

move the refrigerator through doors or narrow openings.

• If an opening is too narrow to fit the refrigerator through, remove the refrigerator doors. See Removing/ 

Assembling the Doors and Drawers in this manual.

• The installation location chosen for the refrigerator should allow space behind the unit for connections 

and airflow and space in front to open the doors and drawers.

• Too small of a distance from adjacent items may result in lowered freezing capability and increased 

electricity consumption charges. Allow at least 24 inches (610 mm) in front of the refrigerator to open the 

doors, and at least 2 inches (50.8 mm) between the back of the refrigerator and the wall.
