Location
Important
Do not install appliance
– outdoors
– in damp rooms
– in rooms with a risk of frost
The appliance should be installed in a dry, ventilated room. It may
not be installed outdoors. The ambient temperature of the room
must be between 55°F
(13°C) and 100°F (43°C).
The appliance should not be exposed to constant direct sunlight
or excessive heat. If installation next to a heat source, such as an
oven, radiator, etc. is unavoidable, use a suitable insulating plate or
observe the following minimum distances from the heat source:
– 1 ¼" (30 mm) from an electric cooking appliance,
– 11 ¹³⁄₁₆" (300 mm) from an oil or solid-fuel cooking
appliance.
Installation and cutout dimensions
It is important to observe the specied dimensions of the
installation cutout for a trouble-free installation of the appliance and
for the subsequent appearance of the door panel.
– In particular ensure that the cutout is square. Square-
ness can be checked by suitable means, e.g. spirit level,
diagonal measurements, etc.
– The side walls of the cutout must be flush. The minimum
thickness of the side and top walls is ⅝" (16 mm). The
minimum thickness of toe kick panel is ¼" (6 mm).
Furniture/xtures
During installation, the appliance is fastened to adjacent and
overhead furniture/xtures and it is therefore essential that all
such furniture/xtures are well secured to the substructure or
adjacent wall.
Flooring/substructure
Important
A fully loaded appliance is very heavy.
Can weigh up to 1,200 lbs.
On account of the heavy weight of a fully loaded appliance, a load-
bearing substructure is required. To ensure correct installation and
function, the support must be at, level and made of hard, rigid
material. If in doubt, contact an architect or a building expert.
Refer to the following table for load-bearing capacity:
Appliance Load bearing capacity
24" Refrigeration Column 890 lbs. / 400 kg
30" Refrigeration Column 1,110 lbs. / 500 kg
18" Freezer Column 560 lbs. / 250 kg*
24" Freezer Column 780 lbs. / 350 kg*
30" Freezer Column 950 lbs. / 425 kg
30" Bottom Freezer 900 lbs. / 410 kg
36" Bottom Freezer 1,200 lbs. / 540 kg
*without water dispenser
Electrical requirements
Important
Electrical shock hazard
– plug into a grounded 3-prong outlet
– do not remove grounding prong
– do not use an adapter
– do not use an extension cord
The appliance comes with a 3-wire power supply cord.
UL listed in the USA.
The appliance requires a 3-wire receptacle that is tted with a 15
Amp fuse or higher.
The receptacle must be installed by a licensed electrician only.
For the installation position of the receptacle refer to diagram in
”Electrical Location“.
Grounding instruction
This appliance must be grounded. In the event of a malfunction
or breakdown, grounding will reduce the risk of electric shock by
providing a path of least resistance for the electric current.
Additional grounding procedure
Some local regulations may require a separate ground. In such
cases, the required accessory ground wire, clamp and screw must
be purchased separately. Never ground the appliance to plastic
plumbing lines, gas lines or water pipes.
A 4-conductor cord shall be used when the appliance is installed
in an area where local codes do not permit grounding through
the neutral. Power supply cord must be replaced by a licensed
electrician only.
