Installations
Advance Planning
0"
True Flush Installation
In a flush installation,
the refrigerator door
will align evenly with the
front face of adjacent cabinet
doors. The refrigerator blends
into the surrounding cabinetry.
Monogram built-in refrigerators and freezers 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.
36" Stainless Steel Refrigerators, Freezers
3/4"
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 or freezer is installed into an enclosure or
between pantry and oven cabinets.
• Side panels are required whenever the sides of the
product are exposed.
• Side panel sizes vary depending on the type of
installation being made.

Cutout and
Product
Dimensions
• To achieve a flush fit, the finished cutout width must
be at least 36" wide.
• In a semi-flush installation, the finished cutout must
be 35-1/2".
• The electrical and water locations must be located as
shown for either type of installation.

Locations
When installed into a corner: Allow 15" clearance on
the hinge side for a 130° opening and full extension of
bottom pans and pan removal.
The water line can be routed through
the floor or back wall.
• The icemaker water line should be:
–Approximately 3-1/2" from the floor on the back wall,
or 3-1/2" from the back wall on the floor.
–At least 5" from either side of the opening.
A 115 volt, 60 Hz. 15 or 20 amp power supply
is recommended. An individual properly grounded
branch circuit or circuit breaker is recommended, as
noted on the rating plate.
• Locate the electrical outlet within 5" x 7" shaded area
shown.
–2-1/2" from the left side.
Between 74" and 81" from the floor.
Two products installed side-by-side, both with hinges
on left sides (or right sides) will require a 2" min.
clearance between the products. The 2" min. separation
will prevent one door handle striking the handle on the

Grounding
the
Refrigerator
IMPORTANT - (Please read carefully)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a standard
three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle to minimize
the possibility of electric shock hazard from this
appliance.
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.
IMPORTANT:
We recommend two separate 115V, 60Hz, 20 amp
properly grounded electrical outlets for a side by side
installation of two products. Each electrical outlet
should have a voltage rating that matches the rating
plate.
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.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR
REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM 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.
PRUDENCE
FICHE D’ADAPTATION
(Fiches d’adaptation non permises au Canada)
CAUTION
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.

Water
Line
• A cold water supply is required for automatic
icemaker operation. The water pressure must be
between 20 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 freezer. 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.

• Tighten all 4 screws.
• Mount the grille panel by dropping into slots on the
case trim.
The grille panel assembly is factory set for an 84"

ZFC1 Trim Kit
For the ultimate in convenience, install a refrigerator
and freezer side by side.
This trim kit includes 6 foam spacer pads to fill the gap
between the side case trims. For a finished appearance,
a trim strip is provided to conceal the side case trim of
the two products.
If you are installing into an enclosure, provide a 72" wide
opening. If you are installing where the sides will be
exposed, allow additional width for any side panels
used.
• Apply foam spacer pads evenly to the side of one
product as shown.
• Slide second product into position.
• Check to be sure both products are level. If they are
not level, an obvious gap can be seen between the
side trims. Adjust leveling legs if needed. Slight gaps
will be concealed with the trim strip.
• Open both doors to access side trim.
• The U-shape trim will overlap the side case trim of
both product.
• Set the top case trim (see page 13) to installation
height.
• Hold U-shaped trim strip up against case trim as
shown. Mark length with pencil at the point where
U-shaped trim overhangs case trim at bottom.
• Mark length with a pencil.
• Trim excess length.
• Starting at the top, press U-shaped trim strip over
case trims of both products.
• Continue pressing trim until you reach the bottom of
the strip.
