INSTALLATION

NOTE

If your refrigerator is placed with the door 

hinge side against a wall, you may have to 

allow additional space so the door can be 

opened wider.

CAUTION

For optimal performance, do 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 

operating instructions for your model. 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 

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. If you do not hook up water to 

the refrigerator, remember to turn the ice 

maker off.

of installation, proper air circulation, and 

plumbing and electrical connections:

•  The cabinet should be level at the front 

and rear.

•  The sides should tilt ¼-inch (6 mm) from 

front-to-back (to ensure that doors close 

and seal properly).

•  Doors should align with each other and be level.
