INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR
REFRIGERATOR LOCATION
■ Do not install the refrigerator where the
temperature will go below 60°F (16°C) because
it will not run often enough to maintain proper
temperatures.
■ Do not install the refrigerator where the
temperature will go above 100°F (37°C) because it
will not perform properly.
■ Do not install the refrigerator in a location exposed
to water (rain, etc.) or direct sunlight.
■ Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully
loaded.
CLEARANCES
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation,
proper air circulation and plumbing and electrical
connections.
Sides
1/8" (3 mm)
Top
1" (25 mm) Cabinet/Hinge Cover

IMPORTANT NOTES
This refrigerator without the handles ranges from
33-7/8" to 35-1/4" (86 cm - 89 cm) depending on your
model (see dimension E on the previous page). Doors
and passageways leading to the installation location
must be at least 36" (91.4 cm) in order to leave the
doors attached to the refrigerator while transporting
it into the installation location. If passageways are
less than 36" (91.4 cm), the refrigerator doors can
easily be scratched and damaged. The doors can be
removed to allow the refrigerator to be safely moved
indoors.
• If you need to remove the door, see Removing
French Doors.
• To remove the freezer door, see Removing
Freezer Drawer.
• If it is NOT necessary to remove doors, leave tape
and all packaging on doors until the refrigerator
is in the final location. Once in place, install door
handles (see Steps 1 and 2).
• SKID REMOVAL: Tilt refrigerator to each side to
remove skid.
• NOTE: Use a padded hand truck to move this
refrigerator. Place the refrigerator on the hand
truck with a side against the truck. We strongly
recommend that TWO PEOPLE move and
complete this installation.
