Selecting the best location for the Refrigerator
•  A  location with easy access to the water supply.
•  A  location without direct exposure to sunlight.

•  A  location with level (or nearly level) flooring.

•   A  location with enough space for the Refrigerator doors to open 

easily.

•     Allow sufficient space to the right, left, back and top for air circulation.    

 If the Refrigerator does not have enough space, the internal cooling 

system may not work properly.

•      Please ensure that appliance can be moved freely in the event of

    maintenance & service.

FLOORING
For proper installation, this refrigerator must be placed on a level 

surface of hard material that is the same height as the rest of the 

flooring. This surface should be strong enough to support a fully 

loaded refrigerator, or approximately

660lbs(299kg). To protect the finish of the flooring, cut a large 

section of the cardboard carton and place under the refrigerator 

where you are working. When moving, be sure to pull the unit 

straight out and push back in straight.

•   Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing. 

   This will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower.

•   Do not install the Refrigerator where the temperature will go below 50ºF (10ºC).  

When moving your refrigerator 

To prevent floor damage be sure the front leveling 

legs are in the up position(above the floor).

Refer to ‘Leveling the refrigerator’ in the manual

(at page 15)

If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the 

water line connections. When you install the refrigerator next to a fixed wall, minimum 

clearance is 3 ¾” (95mm) between the refrigerator and wall to allow the door to swing open.
First thing! Make sure that you can easily move your Refrigerator to its final location by measuring doorways 

(both width and height), thresholds, ceilings, stairways, etc.
