PRODUCT DIMENSIONS

Width dimensions were measured from hinge to hinge.

When leveling legs are fully extended to 1¹⁄ "

(3.2 cm) below rollers, add 1¹⁄ " (3.2 cm) to the height dimensions.

NOTE:

Do not remove the foam gasket from the 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.

If installing under a solid soffit, after installation raise the leveling legs so that the gasket is pressed snugly against the soffit.

If your opening does not meet these requirements, you will need to make modifications.

ANTI-TIP BOARDS

For open to ceiling or soffit cabinet constructions the refrigerator must be braced with the help of primary and secondary anti-tip boards.

PRIMARY ANTI-TIP BOARDS IMPORTANT:

It is recommended that primary anti-tip boards be installed before the refrigerator is installed.

Boards must be long enough to fully cover the width of the compressor cover.

Place the boards so that the bottom surfaces of the boards are 84" (213 cm) from the floor.

During installation, raise the refrigerator up until the top of the refrigerator is making contact with the bottom of the anti-tip boards. Do not crush the compressor cover when raising the rear leveling legs.

NOTE: The foam gasket, on top of the compressor cover, will compress to fit under the anti-tip board(s). There is no need to trim the gasket.

To install primary anti-tip boards-

1.Mark the stud locations on rear wall.

2.Securely attach two 2" x 4" x 32" (5 cm x 10 cm x 81 cm) boards to wall studs behind refrigerator. Use six

#8 x 3" (7.6 cm) (or longer) wood screws. The wood screws must be screwed into the studs at least

1½" (3.8 cm). The boards must overlap the compressor cover.

SECONDARY ANTI-TIP BOARDS

WARNING

Tip Over Hazard

Refrigerator is top heavy and tips easily when not completely installed.

Install secondary anti-tip board to ensure product stability.

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death or serious injury.

For all full height door or armoire panel installations, the secondary anti-tip board is required to be installed prior to door panel installation.

This anti-tip board is to be secured on the right side of the cabinet enclosure as per the dimensions shown in illustration.

Secure the secondary anti-tip board so that the bottom surface of the secondary anti-tip board is 751/2" (191.77 cm) from the floor (right hand side).

To install secondary anti-tip board-

1.Mark the stud locations on right hand side cabinet wall.

2.Securely attach one 2" x 4" x 12" (5 cm x 10 cm x 30.4 cm) board to the cabinet on right hand side cabinet using wood screws. Use three

#8 x 2" (5.08 cm) (or longer) wood screws.

NOTE:

It is recommended to drive the wood screws from cabinet wall into the secondary anti-tip board as shown in the illustration.

The board must have overlap of 1" (2.54) with the refrigerator top.

Leave 4" (10.16 cm) free space at rear as shown in the illustration.

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

WARNING

Explosion Hazard

Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.

Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.

IMPORTANT: This refrigerator is designed for indoor, household use only.

This appliance is intended to be used in household and similar applications such as:

Staff kitchen areas in shops, offices and other working environments.

Farm houses and by clients in hotels, motels and other residential type environments.

Bed and breakfast type environments.

Catering and similar non-retail applications.

NOTE: The refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature range for optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F (32°C). It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.

IMPORTANT:

Observe all governing codes and ordinances.

It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source.

Do not install in a location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C).

Floor must support the refrigerator weight, more than 600 lbs (272 kg), door panels and contents of the refrigerator. Flooring under refrigerator must be at same level as the room. Face of cabinetry must be plumb.

Location should permit door to open fully. See “Door Swing Dimensions.”

Location must permit top grille removal. See “Site Preparation.”

WATER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS

IMPORTANT :

All installations must meet local plumbing code requirements.

Connect to potable water supply only.

Do not use with water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection before or after the system. Systems certified for cyst reduction may be used on disinfected waters that may contain filterable cysts.

There is not enough clearance to achieve a flush installation if a water shutoff valve is located in the wall behind the refrigerator.

The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinet on either side of the refrigerator or some other easily accessible area. The water supply line, however, must come up through the floor in the gray shaded area shown.

8" (20.3 cm)

2" (5 cm)

61/2" (16.5 cm)

A 1/2" (12.7 mm) hole for plumbing should be drilled on the floor at least 61/2" (16.5 cm) from the left-hand side cabinet and should be no more than

2" (5 cm) away from the back wall. Refer above illustration for more details.

The water supply connection is made at the front of the refrigerator.

If additional tubing is needed, use copper tubing and check for leaks. Install the copper tubing only in areas where the household temperatures will remain above freezing.

Do not use a piercing-type or 3/16" (4.76 mm) saddle valve which reduces water flow and also clogs more easily.

NOTE : Your refrigerator dealer has a kit available with a 1/4" (6.35 mm) saddle-type shutoff valve, a union, and copper tubing. Before purchasing, make sure a saddle-type valve complies with your local plumbing codes.
