Installation Clearances
- ✓ Allow 4 1/4" of clearance when installing along a wall. This enables the door to open 90 degrees without the handle contacting the wall.
- ✓ Allow 2" minimum clearance at the rear for proper air circulation and water/electrical connections.
- ✓ Allow a 3/8" minimum clearance at the top for ease of installation.
For optimal usage and ability to open refrigerator doors completely, do not install next to a wall.
Please note: The above dimension and cutout information is for planning purposes only. For complete installation details, consult the manual packed with the product or download the manual online at samsung.com.
Walk the Delivery Route
- ✓ Identify the narrowest opening the appliance will travel through, from outside the home to the installation location.
- ✓ The appliance depth or width must be smaller than the width of the narrowest opening.
