Installation Instructions
INSTALLING THE REFRIGERATOR
REFRIGERATOR LOCATION
• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go
below 60°F (16°C) because it will not run often enough to
maintain proper temperatures.
• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go
above 100°F (37°C) because it will not perform properly.
• Do not install the refrigerator in a location exposed to water (rain,
etc.) or direct sunlight.
• Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.
CLEARANCES
Allow the following clearances for ease of installation, proper air
circulation and plumbing and electrical connections.
Sides 1/8” (3 mm)

Back 2” (50 mm)

IMPORTANT NOTES
This refrigerator without the handles ranges from 34” to
35-1/4” depending on your model (see dimension G on the
previous page). Doors and passageways leading to the
installation location must be at least
36”
in order to leave the
doors attached to the refrigerator while transporting it into
the installation location. If passageways are less than 36”, the
refrigerator doors can easily be scratched and damaged. The
doors can be removed to allow the refrigerator to be safely
moved indoors.
• If you need to remove the door and you have the french
door model, see Removing the French Doors on page 20.
• If you need to remove the door and you have the single
fresh food door model, see Reversing the Door on page 26.
• To remove the freezer door and you have the model with a
freezer drawer see Removing Freezer Drawer on page 24.

Reversing the Door on page 26.
• If it is NOT necessary to remove doors, skip to Step 6. Leave
tape and all packaging on doors until the refrigerator is in
the final location. Once in place, install door handles (see
Steps 1 and 2).
• SKID REMOVAL: Tilt refrigerator to each side to remove
skid.
• NOTE: Use a padded hand truck to move this refrigerator.
Place the refrigerator on the hand truck with a side against
the truck. We strongly recommend that TWO PEOPLE move
and complete this installation.

aligning the slots on the handle with the mounting
fasteners. Slide the handle down until you hear a
“click”.
