Your refrigerator should be positioned to allow easy

access to a counter when removing food. For best

use of refrigerator drawers and freezer baskets, the

refrigerator should be in a position where both can be

fully opened.

temperature will drop below 55°F (13°C) or rise

above 110°F (43°C). The compressor will not be

able to maintain proper temperatures inside the

DO NOT block the toe grille on the lower front

of your refrigerator. Sufﬁcient air circulation

is essential for the proper operation of your

refrigerator.

If your refrigerator is placed with the door hinge

against a wall, you may have to allow additional space

so the door can be opened wider.
