Location Requirements
WARNING
Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
IMPOR
TANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor household
use only
.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for
1/2" (12.7 mm) of space on each side and at the top. Allow for
2" (50.8 mm) 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 a 2" (50.8 mm) minimum space on each side (depending on
your model) to allow the doors to swing open.
NOTES:
■
This r
efrigerator 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.
■
Normal minimum cabinet cut-out width required for product
installation is 36" (91.44 cm). However, if the product is placed
against an extended wall and the ability to remove the crisper
pans is desired, an additional 18" (45.72 cm) of cabinet width
is required, so a total cabinet opening width of 54" (137.16
cm) is recommended.
Electrical Requirements
Electrical Shock Hazard
Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
Do not remove ground prong.
Do not use an adapter.
Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death,
fire, or electrical shock.
