Enclosure Cutout and Product Dimensions

True Flush Installation

In a flush installation,

the refrigerator doors

will align evenlg with the

J front face of adjacent cabinet

doors. The refrigerator blends

into the surrounding

cabinetrg.

Monogram built-in refrigerators and freezers can be installed flush with tgpical 24-5/4" deep cabinetry.

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

freezer will project forward approximatelg 5/4" beyond the front face of surrounding cabinetrg.

In ang installation situation, a wide range of appearance options can be accomplished through

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

• To achieve a flush fit the finished cutout width must be at least 56" wide.

oA semi-flush installation requires 55-1/2" min.

Side Panel Requirements: ,, Side panels are not required whenever the

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

. Side panels are required whenever the sides of the

refrigerator are exposed. Side panel sizes var U depending on the tgpe of installation being made.

To accomplish an attractive installation, you must:

2. Determine side panel thickness.

3. Order matching side panels from the cabinet manufacturen Be sure to provide the exact

be located as shown for either type of installation. A separate 115V, 60Hz. 20 amp power suppl U is recommended for each product.

NOTE: Additional cutout width may be required when side panels are used. Add side panel thickness to the finished cutout to calculate rough-in width. See installation examples below.

Side panels are required whenever the sides of the product will be exposed.

1/2" to 5/4" side panels are normally set into place and fastened to adjacent cabinetry or back wall before rolling the refrigerator or freezer into the opening.

For proper installation, the refrigerator or freezer must be placed on a level surface of hard material

the same height as the rest of the flooring. The floor should be strong enough to support a fullg loaded

refrigerator or freezer, or approximatel U 1,200 Ibs.

IMPORTANT- (Please read carefullg)

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE PROPERLYGROUNDED.

The power cord of these appliances is equipped with a three-prong {grounding) plug which mates with a standard three-prong {grounding) wall receptacle to minimize the possibilitg of electric shock hazard from

this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked bg a

qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properlg grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is gour personal responsibilitg and obligation to have it replaced with a properlg grounded 3-prong

wall outlet.

IMPORTANT:

We recommend two separate l15V, 60Hz. 20 amp., properlg grounded electrical outlets for a side bg side installation of two products. Each electrical outlet should have a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY

CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR REMOVE THE THIRD

{GROUND) PRONG

FROM THE POWER CORD.

Use of Adapter plug

Because of potential hazards under certain

conditions, we stronglg recommend against use of an adapter plug. However, if gou still elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY CONNECTION,mag be made to a properlg grounded 2-prong wall outlet bg use of a UL listed adapter

available at most hardware stores.

,7/16" open-end wrench ,7/16" socket with , #2 Phillips screwdriver 3" extension for , Stubbg Phillips ratchet

, Drill and appropriate bits

, Stick-on hook and loop fastener strips for 1/4" side

panels ,35" long 2x4 for Anti-Tip support , Screws to secure refrigerator to cabinetrg

NOTE: Protect the finish of the flooring. Cut a large

section of the cardboard carton and place under the

product where gou are working.

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 bg a qualified electrician to make sure

the outlet is properlg grounded.

FICHED'ADAPTATION (Fiches d'adaptation non permises au Canada)

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, alwags hold the adapter in place with one hand and pull the power cord with the other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is verg likelg 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 safetg hazards under certain

conditions, we stronglg recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if gou still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutel U necessar U that it be a UL listed 3-wire grounding tgpe appliance extension cord having a grounding tgpe plug and outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be 15 amperes {minimum) and 120 volts.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper

polarit U in the connection of the power cord.

between 20 and 120 p.s.i. Route 1/4" OD copper or GESmartConnect TM

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 to accommodate bend leading into the water valve.

NOTE:The onlg GEapproved plastic tubing is supplied in the GESmartConnect TM Refrigerator Tubing kits. Do not use ang other plastic water supplg line because the line is under pressure at all times. Other tgpes of plastic mag crack or rupture with age and cause water damage to gour home.

GE SmartConnect TM Refrigerator Tubing Kits are available in the following lengths:

2' (.6 m) WXO8XIO002 6' (1.8 m) WXO8XIO006

15'(4.6m}WXO8XIO015

25' (7.6 m} WXO8XlO025

Shut off the main water supplg. 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 easilg accessible. Turn on the main water supplg and flush debris from the line. Run about a quart of water through the tubing into a bucket. Shut off water at the

shut-off valve.

Waterline Tubing

Install optional water filter in the water line near the refrigerator. A water filter is recommended in areas

where water supplg contains sand or particles.

Installation instructions are packed with the filter.

NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. I

Saddle valves are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consu t with sour icensed p umberj
