■

2" x 4" x 32" (5 cm x 10 cm x 81 cm) wood board(s) (1 or 2)

■

Make custom panels or consult a qualified cabinetmaker or 
carpenter to make the panels. 

Overlay Series: Make custom panels, or consult a qualified 
cabinetmaker or carpenter to make the panels. See 
“Installation Requirements” for more information.

Stainless Series and Black Stainless Series are shipped 
complete. 

■

If you are connecting the water line directly to copper tubing 
and not to a shutoff valve, you need a ferrule, a union, and a 

¹⁄₄" compression fitting. 

Location Requirements

The refrigerator can be recessed in an opening between cabinets 
or installed at the end of a cabinet run using a side panel to 
enclose the refrigerator.

■

Observe all governing codes and ordinances. 

■

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).

■

Floor must support the refrigerator weight, more than 600 lbs 
(272 kg), door panels and contents of the refrigerator. 

■

Ceiling height must allow for side tipping radius. See “Tipping 
Radius.”

■

Location should permit door to open fully. See “Door Swing 
Dimensions.” 

■

Location must permit top grille removal. See “Opening 
Dimensions.”

■

To avoid tipping during use, the solid soffit must be within 
1" (2.5 cm) maximum above the refrigerator. If the solid soffit 
is higher than 1" (2.5 cm) or one is not available, then the 
refrigerator must be braced. 

If anti-tip boards are needed, they must be installed to the 
rear wall studs so that the bottom of the anti-tip board is 
84" (213.4 cm) from the floor. See “Install Anti-Tip Boards” 
for more information.

NOTES: 

■

A clearance of 

¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) must be maintained above 

the top grille in order for the top grille to be removed.

■

Do not remove the foam gasket on top of the compressor 
cover unless removal is necessary to fit the unit under a 
soffit. Removal of the gasket will cause loss in cooling 
efficiency. 

■

If installing under a solid soffit, after, installation raise the 
leveling legs so that the gasket is pressed snugly against 
the soffit. 

■

A grounded 3 prong electrical outlet should be placed within 
4" (10.2 cm) of the right side cabinets or end panel. See 
“Electrical Requirements” for additional information.
