True Flush Installation

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.

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 5.

• To achieve a flush fit the finished cutout width must
be at least 42" wide.

• A semi-flush installation requires 41-1/2" rain. finished
cutout width.

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

Semi-Flush Installation

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.

Side Panel 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.

To accomplish an 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

dimensions.

a custom handle of your choice. Cut panels to size, rout
the handle side of the panels as shown below and install

(see detail B).

• For ZKHTSS1 tubular stainless steel handle kit, cut panels
to size and rout the handle side of the panels as shown in

detail B.

• For standard dispenser trim: Cut panels to size, rout the
handle side of the panels as shown in detail B, rout the
bottom of the upper freezer panel and the top of the lower
freezer panel to allow placement of support brackets (see
detail A) and install.

• For custom dispenser trim ZWCD1 kit must be used: Cut
panels to size, refer to detail C for dispenser cutout
routing instructions. When a raised panel design is used,
a custom middle rail is required. A 14-1/2" wide middle rail

must be used because the custom collar trim must be
located within the raised portion of the panel. This area

must be 3/4" thick. See detail D for raised panel design
requirements.

• When using the standard full-width dispenser trim, the
length of the custom handle, top to bottom cannot exceed

11-3/4". Locate the handle a minimum of 3/4" and a
maximum of 1-1/2" from the edge of the panel. There are

no length restrictions on handles for models using a
custom collar dispenser trim (ZWCD1).

IMPORTANT- (Please read carefully)

FORPERSONALSAFETY,THISAPPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERTYGROUNDED.

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.

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,
and the wall outlet is grounded through the house
wiring, You should have the circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified
electrician to make sure 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.

DONOT,UNDERANY
CIRCUMSTANCES,CUT
ORREMOVETHETHIRD

(GROUND)PRONG
FROMTHEPOWERCORD.

Use of Adapter plug

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 TEMPORARY CONNECTION, 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.

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, DO NOT USE
the appliance until a proper ground has again been

established.

Use of Extension Cords

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 of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum)

and 120 volts,

Water Line

16

• A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker
operation. The water pressure must be between 40 and
120 p.s.i.

• Route 1/4" OD copper tubing between house cold water
line and the water connection location.

• Copper tubing should be long enough to extend to the
front of the refrigerator. Allow enough to accommodate
bend leading into the water valve.

Shut off the main water supply.

Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line
of water.

• 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,

make the 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. Do not over tighten.

• Place a compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the
end of the tubing and connect it to the shut-off valve.
Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve and
ferrule is tightened.

• Turn on the main water supply and flush 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.

Side Panels

When connecting a GEReverse
OsmosisWater System to your
refrigerator, the only approved

installation is with a GERVKIT.

If the water supply to the refrigerator is
from a Reverse Osmosis Water System
AND the refrigerator also has a water
filter, use the refrigerator's filter bypass
plug. Using the refrigerator's water
filtration cartridge in conjunction with

the RO filter can result in hollow ice

cubes and slower water flow from the
water dispenser.

If you use the bypass Plug and want a light shield
without the filter opening, order a replacement solid
light shield WR02X8967.

• Side panels are not required when the refrigerator is
installed into an enclosure. Skip this step if you are
installing in an enclosure.

• Side panels are required whenever the sides of the
refrigerator will be exposed and when installed
between frameless cabinets. See pages 3 and 4.

• Side panel installation will be determined by the
design of the side panel you have previously chosen.

• Side panels must be installed plumb.

Step 2.4: If you are installing these handles onto Stainless Steel

panels:

Use extreme caution if you are drilling through
stainless steel panels. Stainless panels must be
handled gently. Do not kneel on stainless steel panels.
It will leave a permanent dent. Do not remove protec-

tive plastic covering until final installation.

• Place supplied filler panel (corrugated) on floor to use
as a pad.

• On the back side of the panel-at the handle side,
measure and mark 1/4" below the top edge of the
panel.

For models with full width dispenser trim and 2-piece

freezer panels:

- Measure and mark 1/4" below the top edge of the
upper panel.

-Measure and mark 1/4" above bottom edge of lower
panel.

• Slip panels into the new extrusion, flush against inner
edge, on the handle side.

Step 3:
Install

Standoffs
onto Handles

• Place a handle standoff on each attachment post
along the handle. Position the set screw hole on each
standoff to point to the floor.

• Install set screws into the bottom of each standoff,
using the Allen wrench provided. The standoff should

be tight against the handle.

• Align extrusion to pencil mark(s) as shown in Step 2.
Mark each screw hole location with pencil.

• Tape extrusions to panels to prevent movement.

• Place panel on plywood section, appearance side
down. Be sure plywood is clean without nicks and
burrs. Center punch at each screw hole location.

• Drill 1/8" pilot hole. Use 9/32" bit to enlarge clearance
hole.

• Measure and cut a 2" wide strip, top to bottom off the
corrugated panels. This will allow room for spacer
rings between the stainless panel and extrusion.
