space above the refrigerator is required. The open space
must also extend the width and depth of the unit. See “Fully

provided with the refrigerator for more information.
■ The width of the opening, from side to side, must be as
specified for your model, for at least 3" (7.62 cm) back from
the face of the cabinet. If your opening does not meet this
requirement, you will need to make modifications.
■ The depth of the opening from the front of the cabinet to the
back wall must be 25" (63.5 cm) minimum to achieve a flush
installation.
■ A grounded 3 prong electrical outlet should be placed within
