This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the
temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a
maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature
range for optimum performance, which reduces electricity
usage and provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C)
and 90°F (32°C). It is recommended that you do not install the
refrigerator near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.
■
Floor must support refrigerator weight (more than 600 lbs
[272 kg], door panels and contents).
Electrical Requirements
Before you move your refrigerator into its final location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection:
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 Volt 60 Hz. (Plug 1), 220/240 Volt 50 Hz. (Plugs 2 or 3), or
220 Volt 60 Hz. (Plug 3) AC only 10-amp fused and grounded
(earthed) electrical supply is required.
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your
refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off
by a switch or pull chain. Do not use an extension cord.
