- Electrical Requirements: A dedicated 115 Volt AC, 60 Hz, 15- or 20-amp fused, grounded electrical supply is required.
- Temperature Ranges:
- Fresh Food: Low 34°F (1°C), High 42°F (5°C).
- Freezer: Low -6°F (-21°C), High 4°F (-15°C).
- Water Filter: The refrigerator includes a water filter cartridge designed to reduce contaminants. The filter should be replaced every 6 months or 1,500 gallons (5,678 liters) of water usage.
- Storage Capacity: The manual mentions various storage components like sealed deli pans, sealed produce pans, climate control drawers, door bins (adjustable), and freezer baskets (slide-out).
