■ Height dimensions are shown with the leveling legs extended to ¹⁄₈" (3 mm)
below the rollers.
■ Width dimensions were measured from trim edge to trim edge.
IMPORTANT: Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
Electrical: A 115 Volt, 60 Hz., AC only 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical
supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your
refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not
use an extension cord.
A grounded 3 prong electrical outlet should be placed within 4" (10.2 cm) of the right
side cabinets or end panel.
Location: Do not install in a location where the temperature will fall below 55°F
(13°C). It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near an oven,
radiator, or other heat source.
■ Floor must support the refrigerator weight, more than 600 lbs. (272 kg), door
panels, and contents of the refrigerator.
■ Ceiling height must allow for side tipping radius. See “Tipping Radius.”
■ Location should permit door to open fully. See “Door Swing Dimensions.”
■ Location must permit top grille removal. See “Opening Dimensions.”
Water Supply:
A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 and 120 psi (207 and 827 kPa)
is required to operate the water dispenser and ice maker. If you have questions about
your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water supply coming out of a reverse osmosis
system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 30 and
120 psi (207 and 827 kPa).
■ All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.
■ The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet on either side of the
refrigerator or some other easily accessible area. The right-hand side is
recommended. The access hole through the cabinet must be within ¹⁄₂" (12.7 mm)
of the rear wall.
NOTE: If the water shutoff valve is in the back wall behind the refrigerator, it must
be at an angle so that the tube is not kinked when the refrigerator is pushed into
its final location.

OPENING DIMENSIONS
TIPPING RADIUS
To avoid tipping during use, the solid soffit must be within 1" (2.5 cm) maximum
above the refrigerator. If the solid soffit is higher than 1" (2.5 cm) or one is not
available, then the refrigerator must be braced.
If anti-tip boards are needed, they must be installed to the rear wall studs so that the
bottom of the anti-tip board is 84" (213.4 cm) from the floor.
NOTE: Do not remove the foam gasket on top of the compressor cover unless
removal is necessary to fit the unit under a soffit. Removal of the gasket will cause
loss in cooling efficiency.
Be sure there is adequate ceiling height to stand the refrigerator upright when it is
moved into place.
■ The dolly wheel height must be added to the tipping radius when a dolly is used.
■ If needed, the tipping radius can be reduced. See “Reduce Tipping Radius.”
