INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
Tools
Tool Needed
Gather the required tool before starting installation. 
Phillips screwdriver
Location Requirements
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a 
¹/₄" 
(6.35 mm) space on each side and at the top. When installing 
your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2
¹⁄₂" (6.35 cm) 
minimum clearance on the hinge side to allow for the door to 
swing open.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the 
refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do 
not install in a location where the temperature will fall below 
55°F (13°C). For best performance, do not install the 
refrigerator behind a cabinet door or block the base grille. 
Opening Dimensions
Height dimensions are shown with the leveling legs extended 
to the minimum height.
NOTE: When leveling legs are fully extended, add 
⁵⁄₈" (15 mm) 
to the height dimensions.
If the floor of the opening is not level with the kitchen floor, 
shim the opening to make it level with the kitchen floor.
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., AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded 
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. Do not use an 
extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or 
removing a light bulb, unplug refrigerator or disconnect power.
WARNING

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as 
gasoline, away from refrigerator.
