2. The Installation Space
Selecting the best location for the Refrigerator
• A location with easy access to a water supply.
• A location without direct exposure to sunlight.
• A location with a level fl oor.
• A location with enough space for the refrigerator doors to open easily.
• A location that allows suffi cient space to the right, left, back and top for air circulation.
• A location that allows you to move the refrigerator easily if it needs maintenance or service.
• Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing. This will help reduce power con-
sumption and keep your energy bills lower.
• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below 50ºF (10ºC).
• Do not locate the refrigerator where it may become wet
FLOORING
For proper installation, you must place this refrigerator on a level, hard
surface that is the same height as the rest of the fl oor. This surface should
be strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator, or approximately
359lbs (165kg).
To protect the fi nish of the fl ooring, cut a large section of the cardboard
carton and place it under the refrigerator where you are working. When
moving the refrigerator, you need to pull and push it straight forwards or
back. Do not wiggle it from side to side.
