household application only.
Measuring the Opening
When installing your refrigerator, measure
carefully. Allow 1/2” (1.3 cm) space at top
and 1/2” (1.3 cm) behind the machine
compartment cover (located in the rear) for
proper air circulation. Sub-flooring 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 “Leveling”.
When installing your refrigerator next to a
fixed wall, leave 2 7/8” (7.3 cm) minimum on
the hinge side to allow for the door to swing
open.

follow these instructions to help prevent accidents.
