Location Requirements The refrigerator can be recessed in an opening between cabinets or installed at the end of a cabinet run using a side panel to enclose the refrigerator. ■ It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. ■ Do not install in a location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C). ■ Floor must support the refrigerator weight, more than 600 lbs (272 kg), door panels and contents of the refrigerator. ■ Ceiling height must allow for side tipping radius. See "Tipping Radius." ■ Location should permit door to open fully. See "Door Swing Dimensions." ■ Location must permit top grille removal. See "Opening Dimensions." Opening Dimensions ■ To avoid tipping during use, the solid soffit must be within 1" (2.5 cm) maximum above the refrigerator. If the solid soffit is higher than 1" (2.5 cm) or one is not available, then the refrigerator must be braced. If anti-tip boards are needed, they must be installed to the rear wall studs so that the bottom of the anti-tip board is 84" (213.4 cm) from the floor. See "Install Anti-Tip Boards" for more information. NOTES: ■ A clearance of ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm) must be maintained above the top grille in order for the top grille to be removed. ■ Do not remove the foam gasket on top of the compressor cover unless removal is necessary to fit the unit under a soffit. Removal of the gasket will cause loss in cooling efficiency. ■ If installing under a solid soffit, after, installation raise the leveling legs so that the gasket is pressed snugly against the soffit.
