FLOORING
For proper installation, this refrigerator must be placed on a level
surface of hard material that is the same height as the rest of the
flooring. This surface should be strong enough to support a fully
loaded refrigerator, or approximately
660lbs(299kg). To protect the finish of the flooring, cut a large
section of the cardboard carton and place under the refrigerator
where you are working. When moving, be sure to pull the unit
straight out and push back in straight.
• Allow clearance to the right, left, back and top when installing.
This will help reduce power consumption and keep your energy bills lower.
• Do not install the Refrigerator where the temperature will go below 50ºF (10ºC).
CAUTION
When moving your refrigerator
To prevent floor damage be sure the front leveling
legs are in the up position(above the floor).
Refer to ‘Leveling the refrigerator’ in the manual
(at page 15)

If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the
water line connections. When you install the refrigerator next to a fixed wall, minimum
clearance is 3 ¾” (95mm) between the refrigerator and wall to allow the door to swing open.
First thing! Make sure that you can easily move your Refrigerator to its final location by measuring doorways
(both width and height), thresholds, ceilings, stairways, etc.
