LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor,
household use only.
This appliance is intended to be used in household and
similar applications such as:
Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working
environments.
Farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and
other residential type environments.
Bed and breakfast type environments.
Catering and similar non-retail applications.
NOTE: The refrigerator is intended for use in a location
where the temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F
(13°C) to a maximum of 43°C (110°F). The preferred room
temperature range for optimum performance, which
reduces electricity usage and provides superior cooling, is
between 15°C (60°F) and 32°C (90°F). It is recommended
that you do not install the refrigerator near a heat source,
such as an oven or radiator.
IMPORTANT:
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 13°C (55°F).
Floor must support the refrigerator weight, more
than 600 lbs (272 kg), door panels and contents of
the refrigerator. Flooring under refrigerator must be
at same level as the room. Face of cabinetry must be
plumb.
Location should permit door to open fully. See “Door
Swing Dimensions.”
Location must permit top grille removal. See “Site
Preparation.”
WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
IMPORTANT :
All installations must meet local plumbing code
requirements.
Connect to potable water supply only.
There is not enough clearance to achieve a flush
installation if a water shutoff valve is located in the
wall behind the refrigerator.
The water shutoff should be located in the base
cabinet on either side of the refrigerator or some
other easily accessible area. The water supply line,
however, must come up through the floor in the gray
shaded area shown.
A 1/2" (12.7 mm) hole for plumbing should be drilled
on the floor at least 6⁄" (16.5 cm) from the left-hand
side cabinet and should be no more than
2" (5 cm) away from the back wall. Refer above
illustration for more details.
The water supply connection is made at the front of
the refrigerator.
If additional tubing is needed, use copper tubing and
check for leaks. Install the copper tubing only in areas
where the household temperatures will remain above
freezing.
Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle
valve which reduces water flow and also clogs more
easily.
NOTE : Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with
a 1/4" (6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union,
and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a
saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing
codes.
WARNING

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before
or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction
may be used on disinfected waters that may contain
filterable cysts.
