Electrical Requirements

Requires a 115 Volt, 60 Hz, AC only, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply. A separate circuit serving only the refrigerator is recommended. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord. A grounded 3-prong electrical outlet should be placed within 4 inches (10.2 cm) of the right side cabinets or end panel.

Water Supply Requirements

A cold water supply with pressure between 30 and 120 psi (207 - 827 kPa) is required for the water dispenser and ice maker. For questions about water pressure, consult a licensed, qualified plumber. The water shutoff valve should be in the base cabinet or another accessible area. If not in the cabinets, plumbing can come through the floor or back wall.

IMPORTANT: For reverse osmosis (RO) systems, the water pressure to the refrigerator inlet valve must be between 30 and 120 psi (207 - 827 kPa). The pressure to the RO system itself must be a minimum of 40 to 60 psi (276 - 414 kPa).

Do not install the refrigerator near heat sources like ovens or radiators, or in locations where the temperature may fall below 55°F (13°C).

Door Swing Dimensions

The refrigerator door can swing open to 90°, 110°, or 130°. The door width is 23 inches (58 cm). Clearance dimensions for the swing are 51 inches (130 cm) and 59 inches (150 cm).

A solid soffit must be within a maximum of 1 inch (2.5 cm) above the refrigerator. If the soffit is higher or absent, the refrigerator must be braced to prevent tipping.

If anti-tip boards are needed, they must attach to rear wall studs 80" to 90" (203 to 229 cm) above the floor.

NOTE: A clearance of 1/2 inch (1.3 cm) must be maintained in front of the refrigerator's side trim to allow removal of the top grille.

Cabinet Opening Dimensions

The required cabinet opening dimensions are:

• Height: Minimum 83 1/2 inches (212.1 cm) to maximum 84 3/4 inches (215 cm) to the bottom of the solid soffit.
• Width: Minimum 35 1/2 inches (90.2 cm) to maximum 35 3/4 inches (90.8 cm).
• Depth: Minimum 24 inches (60.9 cm).

Additional clearances include 4 inches (10.2 cm) from the right side for the electrical outlet, and 6 inches (15.2 cm) clearance on the sides and bottom for ventilation and access.
