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 the anti-tip boards are needed, they must be attached to the
rear wall studs 80” to 90” (203 cm to 229 cm) above the floor.
See installation instructions for more information.

NOTE:Aclearanceof¹⁄2” (1.3 cm) must be maintained above

the top grille in order for the top grille to be removed.

A grounded 3 prong electrical outlet should be placed within ◊
4” (10.2 cm) of the right side cabinets or end panel. See
Electrical Requirements for more information.

The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet on ◊
either side of the refrigerator or some other easily accessible
area. If the water shutoff valve is not in the cabinets, the
plumbing for the water line can come through the floor or
the back wall. See Water Supply Requirements for more

The electrical circuit must meet all local codes and ordinances.

Recommended Grounding Method

A 115 Vac, 60 Hz., 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.

IMPORTANT: If this product is connected to a GFCI (Ground Fault
Circuit Interrupter) protected outlet, nuisance tripping of the power
supply may occur, resulting in loss of cooling. Food quality and
flavor may be affected.

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 ½” (12.7 mm) of the rear
wall.

NOTE: If the water shut off 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 position.

Water Pressure

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.

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). If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to
your cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis
system needs to be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa).

Custom overlay panels used with models IF42 and IF48 allow you
to blend the exterior of your refrigerator into the overall kitchen
décor, and to use custom handles for additional design flexibility.

The custom panels must have backer panels attached in order
to mount them to the refrigerator. It is most common to work with
three panels, as shown in the graphic below. A decorative overlay
panel, a ¹/8” (3.18 mm) spacer panel or spacer strips and a ¼”
(6.35 mm) backer panel.

In some cases, your cabinet manufacturer may choose to work
with one panel routed for the different dimensions. Follow these
panel dimension and placement instructions to be sure that the
custom overlay panels will fit properly.

Built-In Refrigerators

42” and 48” Wide

PLANNING

4/6

IMPORTANT:

Install the panels after moving the refrigerator into
place.

The weight of the overlay panels cannot exceed:

50 lbs (23 kg) for the refrigerator door.

30 lbs (13.5 kg) for the freezer door.

10 lbs (4.5 kg) for the top grille.

To minimize panel weight, you may use 2” (5.08 cm) spacer strips
around the perimeter in place of full-sheet solid spacer panels.
The spacer strips must be set in at least 1” (2.54 cm) from the
top, bottom and sides edges of the backer panel. If you use
spacer strips, it is also recommended that you use two 2” (5.08
cm) strips horizontally centered for added support.

NOTE: For the grille and the door panels to be flush, the overlay
door panel should be ¼” (6.35 mm) thicker than the overlay grille
panel.
