Measuring the Opening
30” Classic
(see page 9 #3015 diagram)
If refrigerator is to be installed into a recess, verify
and use the following dimensions
1.)
Cut out height for refrigerator:
Option 1)
Without optional cowl, and where the top
of the refrigerator is completely covered:
67 1/4” (171 cm) - space provides the necessary
gap above the refrigerator for tool access to fasten
anti-tip bracket (see details below)
Option 2)
With 6” high optional cowl:
73 1/4 (186 cm) - provides enough space for op-
tional 6” cowl assembly
2.)
Cut out width for refrigerator’s main body: 30”
(77 cm)
3.)
Max. cut-out depth: 27 1/2” (70 cm)
4.)
When installing your refrigerator, measure care
-
fully. Allow ½” space at top and ½” space behind the
machine compartment cover (located in the rear) for
proper air circulation.
Anti-Tip Bracket:
Every refrigerator includes an
anti-tip bracket which must be properly installed
to prevent the refrigerator from tipping forward
should downward pressure be applied with both
doors open. To fasten bracket to the wall, distance
from floor to underside of bracket will be 66-1/4”
(169 cm) max. Mark wall where studs are located.
Fasten anti-tip bracket to the wall.
Subflooring or floor coverings (i.e. carpet, tile, wood
floors, rugs) may make your opening smaller than
anticipated.
Some clearance may be gained by using the leveling
procedure under
