Electrical Requirements
⚠️ WARNING: Electrical Shock Hazard
- Plug into a grounded 3 prong outlet.
- Do not remove ground prong.
- Do not use an adapter.
- Do not use an extension cord.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire, or electrical shock.
A 115 V, 60 Hz AC only, 15 A or 20 A fused, grounded electrical supply is required. It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only your refrigerator be provided. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.
NOTE: Before performing any type of installation, cleaning, or removing a light bulb, turn the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to OFF and then disconnect the refrigerator from the electrical source. When you are finished, reconnect the refrigerator to the electrical source and reset the control (Thermostat, Refrigerator or Freezer Control depending on the model) to the desired setting. See "Using the Controls."
Location Requirements
⚠️ WARNING
? Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
The floor must support the refrigerator weight, more than 600 lbs (272 kg), door panels, and contents of the refrigerator.
Each refrigerator needs to be installed in a separate cabinet frame.
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.
Opening Dimensions
This refrigerator is designed to be installed inside a frame that fits between kitchen cabinets. The inside of the frame should be a minimum of 6915/16" (1776 mm) high, 221/16" (560 mm) wide, and 217/8" (555 mm) deep (front to back).
For proper ventilation, you must allow adequate unobstructed space behind the refrigerator and below and above the frame. Air enters below the refrigerator and exits above it.
- Allow a clearance minimum of 2" (50 mm) at the top of the frame.
- The minimum depth of the base of the frame is 207/16" (520 mm) (front to back).
The base can be as desired, but height should match height of toe kick of surrounding cabinets. A vent with an opening of at least 31 sq in (200 sq cm) is required for proper ventilation.
If the space between the top of the frame and the ceiling is open air, allow a minimum of 77/8" (200 mm) above the refrigerator.
If the space between the top of the frame and the ceiling is enclosed as part of the surrounding cabinetry, a vent with an opening of at least 31 sq in (200 sq. cm) is required.
The bottom of the vent must be a minimum of 77/8" (200 mm) above the refrigerator.
NOTE: Vent covers are not supplied with the unit.
Diagram Description: A diagram illustrates the required clearances and dimensions for installation. Key points labeled with letters A through K indicate specific measurements for height, width, depth, and ventilation spaces. These are detailed in the accompanying dimension table.

Product Dimensions
The unit is 6911/16" (1770 mm) high, 2115/16" (557 mm) wide, and 217/16" (545 mm) deep (front-to-back).
The refrigerator door (including hinges [x2]) is 4011/32" (1024.5 mm) high. The freezer door (including hinges [x2]) is 27" (685.5 mm) high.
The space between the refrigerator and freezer doors is 215/16" (75 mm). The space between the door hinges is 25/32" (20 mm).
A grounded 3 prong electrical outlet should be placed within 4" (101 mm) of the right side cabinets or end panel. See "Electrical Requirements" for additional information.
Door Panel Requirements
Maximum Weight: 26.5 lbs (12 Kg)
Minimum Panels Dimensions:
- Refrigerator Door Panel: 417/8" (1062.5 mm) x 231/4" (590 mm) x 3/4" (20 mm)
- Freezer Door Panel: 283/8" (720.5 mm) x 231/4" (590 mm) x 3/4" (20 mm)
For maximum dimensions, please review the following diagram.
Diagram Description: This section includes diagrams illustrating the door panel mounting position and a detailed view of hinge clearance. It also presents a table showing the relationship between cabinet frame wall thickness, door panel width (B), and the required minimum radius (R1) for the door panel edge. The table helps determine the correct radius for smooth door operation based on specific cabinet and door dimensions.
How to read this diagram: For example, if the door panel width dimension "B" is 593 mm and thickness of door panel dimension "A" is 22 mm, that means that door panel requires radius "R1" minimum 2 mm.
