AIRFLOW VENTING RECOMMENDATIONS
OPEN TO CEILING OR SOFFIT CABINET
- These type of installations require a minimum of 6″ (15.24 cm) of open space above the refrigerator. This space must not be blocked in any way, including soffits.
- Depth of cabinet must be less than 25″ (63.5 cm).
- If your opening does not meet these requirements, you will need to make modifications.
CLOSED SOFFIT CABINET
- Depth of cabinet must be less than 25″ (63.5 cm).
- Height of soffit must not exceed 84″ (213.3 cm).
- Following illustrations explain the cabinet construction (soffit and rear wall positions).

Cabinet depth 25″ and soffit located at 84″, provides proper airflow/ventilation to the refrigerator. Efficient cooling is achieved.
Cabinet depth more than 25″ and/or soffit located at more than 84″, causes air gap at back and/or top of the refrigerator. Air gap allows warm air recirculation causing loss in cooling efficiency. - If your opening does not meet these requirements, you will need to make modifications.

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.
115 V, 60 Hz, AC only, 15 A or 20 A fused, grounded circuit is required. A dedicated circuit is recommended. Use an outlet that cannot be turned off by a switch. Do not use an extension cord.
WATER PRESSURE REQUIREMENTS
A cold water supply with water pressure between 30 psi and 120 psi (207 kPa and 827 kPa) is required to operate the ice maker. Call a licensed, qualified plumber with any questions about the water pressure.
Reverse Osmosis Water Supply
IMPORTANT: The pressure of the water coming out of a reverse osmosis system going to the water inlet valve of the refrigerator needs to be between 30 psi and 120 psi (207 kPa and 827 kPa).
If a reverse osmosis water filtration system is connected to the cold water supply, the water pressure to the reverse osmosis system needs to be a minimum of 40 psi to 60 psi (276 kPa to 414 kPa).
LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
