DIMENSIONS AND CLEARANCES
Product Clearances
These refrigerators are equipped with a 2-position
door stop. The factory set 130° door swing can be
adjusted to 90° if clearance to adjacent cabinets
or walls is restricted.
Allow 25″ minimum clearance for a full 130° door
swing. Allow 15″ for pan removal.
5″ minimum clearance is required when door swing
is adjusted to 90°. If the 90° door stop position is
used, pan access is maintained, but pan removal
is restricted.
See illustrations on pages
4 and 5 to determine door
swing interaction with
adjacent cabinets or
countertops.

For proper installation, this refrigerator must be
placed on a level surface of hard material that is at
the same height as the rest of the flooring. This
surface should be strong enough to support a fully
loaded refrigerator, or approximately 2,400 lbs.
NOTE: Protect the finish of the flooring. Cut a large
section of the cardboard carton and place under the
refrigerator where you are working.
GROUNDING THE REFRIGERATOR
IMPORTANT—(Please read carefully)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with
a 3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle
to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard
from this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is your personal responsibility and obligation to
have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong
wall outlet.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT
OR REMOVE THE THIRD
(GROUND) PRONG FROM
THE POWER CORD.
DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG TO CONNECT THE
REFRIGERATOR TO A 2-PRONG OUTLET.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS
APPLIANCE.
