Advance Planning

True FlushInstallation

In a flush installation,

the refrigerator doors

will align evenly with the

front face of adjacent cabinet doors. The refrigerator blends

into the surrounding cabinetry.

;emi-FlushInstallation

These refrigerators

can also be installed

semi-flush into an enclosure

using the minimum cutout

width. The case trim creates a

frame around the opening.

Monogram built-in refrigerators can be installed flush with typical 24-3/4"deep cabinetry.

When installed semi-flush, the case trim will conceal slight gaps around the enclosure. The refrigerator will

project forward approximately 3/4" beyond the front face of surrounding cabinetry.

In any installation situation, a wide range of appear- ance options can be accomplished through the use of

one or more trim kits. See trim kit descriptions and appearance options on page 6.

SidePanels Requirements:

• Side panels are not required whenever the

refrigerator is installed into an enclosure or between pantry and oven cabinets.

• Side panels are required whenever the sides of the refrigerator are exposed.

• Side panel sizes vary depending on the type of installation being made.

Toaccomplishan attractive installation, you must:

1.Determine the need for side panels.

2. Determine side panel thickness.

3. Order matching side panels from the cabinet

manufacturer. Be sure to provide the exact dimen- sions.

Enclosure

Cutout and

Product Dimensions

• To achieve a flush fit thefinished cutout width must be at least 36"wide.

• A semi-flush installation requires 35-1/2"rain. finished cutout width.

• The electrical and water locations must be located as shown for either type of installation.

Installation Examples

36" Bottom Mount R@ig_rators

Side panels are required whenever the sides ofthe refrigerator will be exposed.

1/T to 3/4" side panels are normally set into place and

fastened to adjacent cabinetry orto the back wall

before rolling the refrigerator into the opening.

Therefore, the rough-in dimensions must allow for side

panelthickness. In both aflush and semi-flush installation, the finished dimension, (thewidth ofthe

opening after side panels are installed), must accom- modatethe full width of the refrigerator.

NOTE:Protectthe finish ofthe flooring. Cut a large section of the cardboard carton and place under the refrigerator where you are working.

Grounding the

Refrigerator

IMPORTANT- (Please read carefully)

FORPERSONALSAFETY,THISAPPLIANCE MUSTBE PROPERLYGROUNDED.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a

standard three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from

this appliance.

Havethe wall outlet and circuit checked bya qualified electrician to makesure the outlet is properly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it

is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

DO NOT,UNDERANY CIRCUMSTANCES,CUT

ORREMOVETHETHIRD (GROUND)PRONG FROMTHEPOWERCORD.

Useof Adapterplug

Because of potential hazards under certain conditions,

we strongly recommend against use of an adapter plug.

However, if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARYCONNECTION,may be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by use of a UL listed adapter available at most hardware

stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the

larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper polarity in

the connection of the power cord.

Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance

unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, andthe wall outlet is grounded through the house wiring. Youshould have the circuit checked by a

qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

FICHED'ADAPTAT]ON

(Fiches d'adaptation non permises au Canada)

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,

always hold the adapter in place with one hand and pulling the power cord with the other hand. If this is not done,the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break

with repeated use.

Should the adapter ground terminal break, DONOTUSE

the appliance until a proper ground has again been

established.

Useof ExtensionCords

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL listed 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet and that the

electrical rating ofthe cord be 15amperes (minimum) and 120volts.

• A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker operation. The water pressure must be

between 20 and 120p.a.i.

• Route 1/4"ODcopper tubing between house cold

water line and the water connection location.

• Copper tubing should be long enough to extend to the

front ofthe refrigerator. Allow enough to accommo-

date bend leading into the water valve.

Shutoffthe main water supply.

Turn onthe nearest faucet long enough to clear the line

ofwater.

• install a shut-off valve between the icemaker water

valve and cold water pipe in a basement or cabinet. The shut-off valve should be located where it will be

easily accessible.

NOTE:It is best to install the valve into a vertical water pipe. If you install the valve into a horizontal water pipe,

makethe connection at the top or side, rather than at

the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from the water pipe.

• Drill a 1/4"hole in the water pipe.

• Fasten the shut-off valve to the pipe with pipe clamp.

• Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer begins to swell. Donot over tighten.

• Place a compression nut and ferrule (sleeve} onto the endof the tubing and connect it to the shut-off valve.

Make sure the tubing isfully inserted into the valve andferrule is tightened.

• Turn onthe main water supply andflush debris from

the line. Run about a quart of water through the tubing

into a bucket. Shut off water supply at the shut-off

valve.
