CUSTOMIZATION BASICS: Framed Or Overlay Panels, Custom
Handles and Accessory Kits
These refrigerators are designed to be customized with decorative panels. Field installed custom door and grille panels are required.
Side Panels
Side panels must be used whenever the sides of the refrigerator will be exposed.
REFRIGERATOR LOCATION
• Do not install the refrigerator where the temperature will go below 55°F (13°C). It will not run often enough to maintain proper temperatures.
• Do not install the refrigerator where temperatures will go above 100°F (37°C). It will not perform properly.
• Do not install the refrigerator in a location exposed to water (rain, etc.) or direct sunlight.
Install it on a floor strong enough to support it fully loaded.
Optional Accessory Kits
• ZKHCSS2: Monogram Tubular Stainless Steel handles designed to fit 3/4 overlay panels. This kit also includes a handle side trim for custom handles.
• ZKHPSS1: Professional Tubular Stainless Steel Handle designed to fit 3/4” overlay panels. Kit includes one handle. Order 2 kits for bottom-freezer refrigerators from your Monogram supplier.
• ZUG2/ZUGSS2: For side-by-side installation of two trimmed bottom-freezer refrigerators. This kit provides for the installation of a unified custom grille panel to span the width of two units using a framed or overlay panel.
• ZKHCT: Handle side trim for left-hand and right-hand doors. For use on 3/4 custom panels when using a custom handle.

• Route 1/4 OD copper or SmartConnect™ plastic tubing between house cold water line and the water connection location.
• Tubing should be long enough to extend to the front of the refrigerator. Allow enough tubing to accommodate bend leading into the water line connection.
NOTE: The only GE Appliances-approved plastic tubing is supplied in the SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing kits. Do not use any other plastic water supply line because the line is under pressure at all times. Other types of plastic may crack or rupture with age and cause water damage to your home.

• The anti-tip wall bracket has a series of holes. Select 2 holes that match with the located studs. Make sure the holes selected are on the center of the studs. Mark the wall at these points.
• Mark an additional hole at each end of the bracket. If one of the studs is closer to the end of the bracket, mark an additional hole towards the center of the bracket.
• Drill 1/2” holes into the wall board at the locations marked for the toggles to be mounted (not the stud markings).
• Drill 3/16” holes into wooden studs where marked. If steel stud construction, drill 1/2” holes into the studs where marked. You will use 2 toggles with the metal studs.

ANIT-TIP PROCEDURE
(Cont)
CONNECT POWER CORD:
• Before pushing the refrigerator into the opening, plug the power cord into the receptacle. Open the grille panel and reach into the opening at the back to grasp the power cord. Pull the power cord into the opening as you push the refrigerator back.
• Gently push refrigerator into the opening with hands against front corners.
IMPORTANT: When the refrigerator is installed under a soffit or if there is not enough height for this method of security, brackets cannot be used. Proceed to step 6 to level the refrigerator and then to step 8 to secure refrigerator to cabinets. See step 9 if you have metal wall studs. The refrigerator must be secured to prevent tipping.
STEP 5 LEVEL REFRIGERATOR
All models have 4-point leveling. The front is supported by leveling legs, the rear is supported by adjustable wheels. Both are accessible from the front of the refrigerator.
• To level the back of the refrigerator, turn the 7/16” hex nut located above the front wheels. Turn clockwise to raise or counterclockwise to lower the refrigerator.
• For front leveling, use a 1-1/4 open-end wrench.
• Adjust height of refrigerator to match installation cutout opening 83-1/2 to 84-1/2. The refrigerator should be level and plumb with cabinetry.
CAUTION
The rear leveling wheels and front leveling legs are limited to a maximum height adjustment of 1”. If the installation requires more than 84-1/2 height, the installer should elevate the refrigerator on a sheet of plywood or runners. Cabinetry trim could also be added across the top of the opening to shorten the opening. If you attempt to raise the refrigerator more than 1, you will damage the front leveling legs and the rear leveling wheels.
STEP 5 LEVEL REFRIGERATOR (Cont)
ATTENTION
Les roues de nivellement arrière et les pattes de nivellement avant permettent un réglage maximal de 25 mm (1 po). Si l’ouverture pour le réfrigérateur a une hauteur supérieure à 2,15 m (84-1/2 po), l’installateur doit élever le réfrigérateur sur une feuille de contre-plaqué ou des glissières. Il est également possible d’ajouter des baguettes de finition des placards sur le haut de l’ouverture afin de la réduire. Lever le réfrigérateur de plus de 25 mm (1 po) endommage les pattes de nivellement avant et les roues de nivellement arrière.
STEP 6 SECURE UNIT TO WALL
• The “L” rod can be found in the upper left corner of the unit in the access compartment. Look through the access compartment to make sure the rod lines up with the anti-tip bracket.
• There are 2 washers and a hair pin cotter with the rod. Remove the washers and hair pin cotter from the end of the rod.
• Rotate and move the “L” rod into the slot in the anti-tip bracket tab. Once it is in the slot, rotate the “L” rod so the hook portion is pointing down. The holes at the front end of the rod should be in a vertical position.
• Pull out on the end of the rod to make sure it is secure in the bracket.
• Locate the hole on the rod that is closest to the unit. A hair pin cotter will be put through this hole to secure the rod. If this hole appears to be too far away for a snug fit against the unit, add the washers one at a time until the pin will fit tightly into the hole.
• Align the straight section of the pin with the hole from the underside of the rod. Push the pin up until it snaps into position. Pliers may be used. NOTE: The hair pin cotter must be vertical when this step is completed to ensure the “L” rod is engaged in the bracket.
• Check the rod for tightness by pulling forward. If the rod moves, remove the hair pin cotter and place another washer on the rod. Reinsert the pin.
