LOCATION REQUIREMENTS WARNING Top Mount Refrigerator Explosion Hazard Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator. Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire. 1/2" (12.7 mm) 2" (50.8 mm) To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, it is recommended to allow a 1/2" (1.27 cm) space on each side and between overhead cabinets and refrigerator top. Allow at least 1" (2.54 cm) between back of cabinet and the wall. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, make sure you leave extra space at the back for the water line connections. If you are installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2" (5.08 cm) minimum on the hinge side (depending on your model) to allow the door to swing open. This space on the hinge side also allows for crisper removal when the door is fully swung open. NOTE: This refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the temperature ranges from a minimum of 13°C (55°F) to a maximum of 43°C (110°F). The preferred room temperature range for optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and provides superior cooling, is between 15°C (60°F) and 32°C (90°F). It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near a heat source, such as an oven or radiator.
