■ Staff kitchen areas in shops, ofces and other working
environments;
■ Farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other
residential type environments;
■ Bed and breakfast type environments;

To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for
1/2" (1.25 cm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for
1" (2.54 cm) of space behind the refrigerator. If your refrigerator
has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line
connections. When installing your refrigerator next to a xed wall,
leave 2¹⁄2" (6.3 cm) minimum on the hinge side (some models
require more) to allow for the door to swing open.
NOTE: This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where
the temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a
maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature range
for optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and
provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F
(32°C). It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator
near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.
Electrical Requirements
Before you move your refrigerator into its nal location, it is
important to make sure you have the proper electrical connection.
Recommended Grounding Method
A 115 V, 60 Hz., AC only 15 or 20 A 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.
If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the
manufacturer or its service agent or similarly qualied person. Do
not use a cord that shows cracks or abrasion damage along its
length or at either the plug or connector end.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning,
or removing a light bulb, turn Cooling OFF. Press both the
Refrigerator Minus (-) button and the Freezer Minus (-) button until
the word OFF appears in each display. Disconnect the refrigerator
from the electrical source. When you are nished, reconnect the
refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the temperature
controls to the desired setting. See “Using the Controls.”
