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.
To ensure proper ventilation for your refrigerator, allow for a
¹/₄" (6.35 mm) space on each side and at the top. When installing
your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2¹⁄₂" (6.35 cm)
minimum clearance on the hinge side to allow for the door to
swing open.
NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install the refrigerator
near an oven, radiator, or other heat source. Do not install in a
location where the temperature will fall below 55°F (13°C). For
best performance, do not install the refrigerator behind a cabinet
door or block the base grille.
