Side-by-Side: JS42NXFXDW, JS42NXFXDE, JS48NXFXDE, JS48NXFXDW
36" Bottom Mount: JB36NXFXLW, JB36NXFXRW. JB36NXFXLE, JB36NXFXRE

Opening Requirements
IMPORTANT:
■An Armoire installation requires an open soffit. For a fully integrated installation, a minimum of 6" (15.24 cm) of open space above the refrigerator is required. The open space must also extend the width and depth of the unit. See “Fully Integrated Installation.” Anti-tip boards are required. See “Install Anti-Tip Boards” in the Installation Instructions 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 4" (10.2 cm) of the right side cabinets or end panel. See “Electrical Requirements” in the Installation Instructions provided with the refrigerator.
■The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinets 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. See “Water Supply Requirements” in the Installation Instructions provided with the refrigerator.
