INSTALLATION
GUIDELINES
Area Requirements
Verify the following:
• Floors can support refrigerator’s weight plus
approximately 1200 pounds (544 kg) of food
weight.
• Finish kitchen floor height is level. Refrigerator
must be shimmed to the floor level if the floor
heights are not equal to make sure air vents are
not obstructed.
• Remove anything attached to rear or side walls
that can obstruct refrigerator opening.
• Cutout dimensions are accurate.
• Electrical outlet is in correct location.
Do not install this unit next to another refrigerator or
freezer. This is important to prevent condensation
or consequential damage from another unit.
Electrical Requirement
If codes require a separate grounding circuit to be
used, have a qualified electrician install the circuit.
WARNING
!
Do not ground to a gas pipe. Check with a
qualified electrician if you are not sure the
appliance is properly grounded. Do not
have a fuse in the neutral or grounding
circuit.
WARNING
!
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD
Electrical Grounding Required.This
appliance is equipped with a three-prong
(grounding) polarized plug for your
protection against possible shock hazards.
DO NOT remove the round grounding
•
prong from the plug.
DO NOT use a two-prong grounding
•
adapter.
DO NOT use an extension cord to
•
connect power to the unit.
Customer’s Responsibility
A 115 Volt, 60 Hz, 15 Amp (20 Amp for side-by-side
installation) fused electrical supply is required. We
recommend using a dedicated circuit for this
appliance to prevent electrical overload. Follow the
National Electrical Code and local codes and
ordinances when installing the receptacle.
Blocking For Safety
The anti-tip brackets must be installed to prevent
the unit from tipping after it is installed. Refer to
Blocking For Safety.
Unit Venting
DO NOT restrict the air flow. Air flow must be
provided for the unit to operate. The factory air
vents provide 31 square inches (200 cm
flow per unit. If you are replacing the factory air
vents with an overlay, the air flow must be the same
or greater than the factory air vents.

WARNING
!
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD
• Electrically ground refrigerator.
• Do not use an extension cord.
• Failure to follow these instructions
could result in fire or electrical shock.

sheet of shim material to build the total thickness to

- Figure 6
The overlay design line allows decorative panels to
cover the door trim for a more seamless
appearance that blends with the design of the
room. To achieve this look, the most common way
is to work with three panels, the decorative overlay
panel, a 0.10" (0.25 cm) spacer panel and a 1/4"
(0.635 cm) backer panel.

BLOCKING
FOR SAFETY
Figure 21: Secure the refrigerator in place so it
does not tip forward when the fully stocked door
is opened.
2. Measure the distance from the floor to the
upper edge of the unit.
3. Locate and mark two wall studs (1) against the
wall where the refrigerator will be located. The
space between the unit top and the bottom
of the brackets must not be more than
1/4" (0.635 cm).
4. Make sure the screws (2) extend a minimum of
1" (2.54 cm) into each of the wall studs.
5. Make sure the anti-tip brackets (3) extend at
least 3" (7.62 cm) over the unit and are
securely in place.
IMPORTANT
The anti-tip brackets can be installed in either
direction or closer together. Always position
the anti-tip brackets as wide apart as
possible, but make sure they are anchored to
two studs.
6. Using the adjustable roller base, raise the unit
until it makes contact with the brackets. Make
sure the front levelers are firmly on the floor to
prevent appliance from tipping forward.
IMPORTANT
If your unit is positioned in between the wall
studs, a board can be secured to the wall.
Make sure the board is secured to the studs
with screws that will penetrate into the studs a
minimum of 1" (2.54 cm). The board should
be a minimum of 1" x 6" (2.54 cm x 15.24 cm)
and long enough to secure both ends to the
