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 specied 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

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.
