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:

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.

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.”

Opening Dimensions

IMPORTANT:

The width of the opening (Width A), from side to side, must be as specified for your model, for at least 2" (5.08 cm) back from the face of the cabinet.

NOTE: If your opening does not meet this requirement, you will need to make modifications.

A solid soffit or wall cabinet must be installed 84" (213.4 cm) above the floor. If the solid soffit is higher than 84" (213.4 cm) or one is not available, then the refrigerator must be braced.

If anti-tip boards are needed, they must be attached to the rear wall studs so that there is 84" (213.4 cm) from the bottom of the anti-tip board to the floor. See “Install Anti-Tip Boards” for more information.

NOTES:

A clearance of ¹⁄" (1.3 cm) must be maintained above the top grille so that the top grille can be removed.

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.

For a fully integrated installation, a minimum of 6" (15.24 cm) of open space above the refrigerator is required. See “Fully Integrated Installation.” Anti-tip boards are required. See “Install Anti-Tip Boards” for more information.

A grounded 3 prong electrical outlet should be located within a specified number of inches from the right-hand side cabinets or end panel. See the chart following the graphic for the number of inches required for your model. For more information, see “Electrical Requirements.”

A ½" (12.7 mm) hole for plumbing should be drilled on the floor at least 6" (15.2 cm) from the rightor left-hand side cabinet and should be no more than 1" (2.54 cm) away from the back wall. See “Connect the Water Supply.”

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⁄ " (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⁄ " (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.

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. 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).

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).

If the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system is less than 40 to 60 psi (276 to 414 kPa):

Check to see whether the sediment filter in the reverse osmosis system is blocked. Replace the filter if necessary.

Allow the storage tank on the reverse osmosis system to refill after heavy usage.

If your refrigerator has a water filter, it may further reduce the water pressure when used in conjunction with a reverse osmosis system. Remove the water filter cartridge.

If you have questions about your water pressure, call a licensed, qualified plumber.

Fully Integrated Grille Installation

Requirements

The refrigerator can be installed fully integrated if the adjacent cabinetry meets the airflow venting requirements critical to refrigerator performance. A Fully Integrated Grille installation has no visible air gap because the grille extends upward to the soffit or upper cabinet.

IMPORTANT:

A Fully Integrated Grille installation requires a minimum of 6" (15.24 cm) of open space above the refrigerator. This space must not be blocked in any way, including by soffits.

A Fully Integrated Grille installation can be achieved with either a 24" (60.9 cm) or 25" (63.5 cm) deep opening.

A full height grille is used to achieve a Fully Integrated Grille installation. Use the integrated grille bracket (provided with refrigerator) to attach the full height grille.

Install Anti-Tip Boards

IMPORTANT:

If a solid soffit is not available, anti-tip boards must be installed.

It is recommended that 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 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.

NOTE: If your water line connection does not look like Style 1, see “Style 2—Copper Line Connection.”

1. Unplug refrigerator or disconnect power supply.

IMPORTANT:

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.

Before attaching the tubing to shutoff valve, flush the main water supply line to remove particles and air in the water line. Allow enough flow so that water becomes clear. Flushing the water line may help avoid filters and/or water valves from becoming clogged.

Move Refrigerator to

Final Location

WARNING

Tip

 

Refrigerator is top

easily when not

completely installed.

 

Keep doors taped closed until refrigerator is completely installed.

Use two or more people to move and install refrigerator.

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

IMPORTANT:

A flush installation is NOT possible with a 24" (60.9 cm) deep opening.

To avoid floor damage, make sure levelers are raised (not touching floor) and refrigerator is on rollers before moving.

Use the installation block, attached to the door hinge, as a reference to make sure the refrigerator is pushed back far enough into the opening, so that when the panels are installed they will be flush with the adjacent cabinets.

After the refrigerator is leveled and aligned, remove the installation block from the door hinge and use it to check the spacing between the panels and adjacent cabinets.

NOTE: The installation block is designed to provide accurate spacing for ³⁄ " (1.9 cm), ³⁄ " (9.53 mm) and ¹⁄ " (3.18 mm).

2.Adjust the leveling legs to level and align the refrigerator from left to right and front to back so that the refrigerator is level and aligned with the cabinets.

3.Continue adjusting the leveling legs until the top of the refrigerator is making contact with the bottom of the solid soffit, or the bottom of the anti-tip boards, if anti-tip boards were used. Do not crush the compressor cover.

21

IMPORTANT: Adjust in small increments to keep from damaging the cabinet trim and causing problems with the door alignment or top grille fit. To avoid damage to the cabinet or leveling legs, do not apply more than 50 inch-pounds (5.65 Nm) of torque to the leveling bolts. The leveling legs can be extended to a maximum of 1¹⁄" (3.18 cm) below the rollers.
