triangle. The closer the triangle is to equal on each side, the better. The space between all
three points should be free from obstruction with enough room for at least two people to
work within the triangle without getting in each other’s way. If the kitchen will only be
occupied by one person a smaller triangle will work. If a complete cook staff is used or
caterers brought in regularly, a larger triangle will be needed, if not two triangles.
Since many kitchens will be in the design stage when an appliance such as the Jenn-Air

refrigerator is considered, many customers will be able to plan properly. Space
can be allocated for as many refrigeration systems as the customer feels is right for their
needs.
Because of the forethought invested in design, this product line can be completely
enclosed in cabinetry. All airflow is through the front of the unit. Cabinets can be built on
either side as well as above the unit.
The location for installation should include an outlet on a dedicated circuit. This outlet
should be 75½” above the floor and 2” from the right side of the opening. There is a
recessed area in the cabinet to allow the unit to be pushed up against the wall with the
plug installed in this location.
A dedicated outlet is a good practice for any refrigerator and is required by the electrical
code of many areas of the country. The outlet should be mounted in the back wall of the
final location. The space should always leave enough room for both the appliance and the
plug in the outlet.
A water supply for the installed icemaker or water dispenser is essential. The water line
should come up through the floor or through the lower wall in the rear center of the
opening. Since all components were designed to be serviced from the front, the ice and
water hook-up is in the front behind the air grill.
The system is pushed into place and then the water line is connected. This is opposite of
the connection sequence for a standard refrigerator. Typically the water line would be
connected and then the system pushed the last few feet into place. By placing the
refrigerator before connecting the water line, there is less flexing of the connection and a
reduced chance for a water leak.
