What installation considerations are there for a 48-inch Refrigerator?
  • Since these models are bigger and heavier, it’s helpful to mention any specific installation needs, like extra clearance space, door swing directions, or weight support.
  • Check planning notes on spec sheet:
    • Fully flush in 25” depth niche or proud in 24” depth niche
    • electrical supply considerations: The electrical supply outlet is recommended to be located in an adjacent cabinet for safety and serviceability. If it is not possible due to the construction to connect the appliance to a power outlet next to it, connect the appliance to a power outlet behind the appliance. This alternative position of the power outlet is permissible only if you can switch off the outlet with a circuit breaker in the fuse box.
    • Water supply considerations: A cold water supply is required for water dispenser and icemaker operation. Water pressure must be between 29 and 116 p.s.i. The water supply is recommended to be located in an adjacent cabinet or other area that can be accessed after the appliance is installed.
    • Furniture return: The interior sides of the furniture return will be partially visible when the refrigerator door is opened. Top and side returns should be finished to match the exterior furniture at a minimum depth of 4" (102 mm). Ensure that the side walls of the cutout are completely flush to a depth of at least 4" (102 mm).
    • Door clearances: Clearance dimensions are based on a door panel thickness of ¾” (19mm). Additional clearances must be added for handles and door panels thicker than ¾” (19mm). Clearance Requirements: The required clearances for the maximum door opening angle of 115˚ should be followed. The minimum required clearance to fully access all compartments is 90˚ door opening.
    • Ceiling height clearance and tipping radius dimensions: 96 1/4Inch (≥ 2445mm)
    • Side by side installation recommendations: A bottom freezer refrigerator and another column refrigeration appliance (ie. Wine Preservation Column) can be installed together only if a partition—minimum 5/8” (16 mm) is placed between the two appliances. Ensure that the door panel thickness (including handles) as well as the swivel range are accounted for to prevent damage if the doors are opened at the same time.
    • Load bearing capacity: 1,679.81 lbs. / 761.94 kg
