Location and installation safety

WARNING

• Before installing the refrigerator, connect it to a power outlet and turn the refrigerator

ON to make sure the refrigerator is working.

• Choose a location away from the heat of a heater, boiler, or direct sunlight.

• Install the unit where air ows freely and where the refrigerator is well ventilated.

• Install the unit so that air ows unobstructed through the front air grill. If the air

circulation is not ensured, it may interfere with the normal functioning of the product.

• Outside animals (rodents) can chew on the power cord and cause a re; therefore,

install the unit where there is no access to animals.

• If the cabinet is made of soft material (ex: plaster, etc.), it can have a weak structure

and be damaged. Therefore, use a cabinet made of sturdy, strong material.

• Install the refrigerator with a team of at least 2 people.

• Refer to the dimensions of the cabinet and prepare the cabinet with good air

circulation.

• Use cabinet that will not warp from product heat emissions or humidity from the

opening and closing of the refrigerator.

NOTE

If any doorways are too small for the refrigerator to pass through, the doors on the

refrigerator can be removed.

This refrigerator is a “built-in” style refrigerator, meaning that the refrigerator requires

installation inside a recess in existing kitchen cabinetry.

Before moving the refrigerator, clear the route to the location where it will be installed.

Check all product dimensions and the tipping radius with any doorways, hallways, stairs,

corners, etc., to ensure a clear passageway.

Installation requirements

Cutout requirements

Cutout dimensions (W x H x D) : 42” x 84” x 24” (1067 x 2134 x 610 mm)

• Install the refrigerator so that it can be pulled away from the wall if service becomes

necessary.

• The ooring under the refrigerator must be level with the kitchen ooring. (The

refrigerator cannot be on a raised or lowered oor.)

• The face of the surrounding cabinetry must be plumb.

• Water line can enter the opening through the oor or rear wall. The water line should

be used for supplied connecting between the cold water line and water connection

location. The line should be long enough to extend to the front of the refrigerator.

Installation of an easily accessible shutoff valve in the water line is required.

• It is recommended that you use a mat to prevent the oor from damage.

WARNING

• Make sure a dedicated, grounded,

3-prong outlet is installed to supply

electrical power to the refrigerator.

• Use a 3-prong power cord plugged

directly into the grounded outlet. Do

not alter into a 2-prong power cord or

use a power strip.

• Make sure the house’s main water

supply is accessible where the

refrigerator will be placed. Water is

needed for the refrigerator’s ice maker

and drinking water dispenser.

• See the suggested water line locations

in the image below.

is properly earthed.

Where a standard 2-pin wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and

obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-pin wall outlet.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES,

CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD (EARTH) PIN

FROM THE POWER CORD.

DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER PLUG TO

CONNECT THE REFRIGERATOR TO A 2-PIN

OUTLET.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD WITH

THIS APPLIANCE.

WARNING

Before connecting the refrigerator’s water

line to the house’s main water supply,

the house’s plumbing layout must be

understood.

1. Decide the best way to utilize the

plumbing layout, then

2. Tap into the main water line while

following these requirements:

- The installer must provide the 5/16-

in (8 mm) water line and all ttings.

- The water line must be long enough

to provide slack to allow the

refrigerator to be moved for oor

cleaning and servicing, without the

need to rst disconnect the water

line.

- All new installations must meet local

plumbing code requirements.

- The water shutoff should be placed

in the base cabinet on either side

of the refrigerator (the right-side
