Flush or
Semi-Flush
Enclosure
Installations
Advance Planning
True FlushInstallation
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" Stai*_le,s,_ Steel R_fi'ig'erator,s, t;reezer,s
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.
Enclosure
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.

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

ZUGSSUnified Grille Panel Kit
Forside byside installation, order ZUGSSgrille panel
kit. This kit provides one continuous panel to span the
width of two products installed together for a unified
appearance.
Therefore, the rough-in dimensions must allow for
side panel thickness. In both a flush and semi-flush
installation, the finished dimension (the width of
the opening after side panels are installed) must
accommodate the full width of the product.

Electrical
and Water
Connection
Locations
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 onthe floor.
-At least 5"from either side of the opening.
A 115volt, 60 Hz 15or 20 amppower supply is
recommended. An individual properly grounded
branch circuit or circuit breaker is recommended,
asnoted on the rating plate.
• Locate the electrical outlet within 5"x 6" shaded area
shown.
-2-1/2" from the left side.
Between 75"and 81"from the floor.
IMPORTANT:To insure aflush fit and access to the
power cord, locate the electrical outlet as shown.

Grounding the
Refrigerator
IMPORTANT- (Please read carefully)
FORPERSONALSAFETY,THIS APPLIANCEMUST BE
PROPERLYGROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
3-prong (grounding) plug that mates with a standard
three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle to minimize the
possibility of electric shock hazardfrom this appliance.
Havethe 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
blstallation of two products. Each electrical outlet should
have a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.
Useof 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
CONNECTIONmay be made to a properly grounded
2-prong wall outlet by use of a UL listed adapter
available at most hardware stores.
DONOT,UNDERANY CIRCUMSTANCES,CUT OR
REMOVETHETHIRD(GROUND)PRONGFROMTHE
POWERCORD.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,
always 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 very likely to break with
repeated use.
Should the adapter ground terminal break, DONOTUSE
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 rathlg 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 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 makesure the outlet is
properly grounded.

toekick heights.
• Adjust rear wheels beneath the product to just barely
touch the 2x4 block.
• Turn the 7/16" hex nut located above the front wheels
to raise or lower the back ofthe refrigerator.
• To adjust the front leveling legs: Use a 1/4"angled
wrench to turn the top of the leveling leg, or turn the
bottom of the legs with a 1-1/4"wrench.
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 asheet
of plywood or runners. Cabinetry trim could also be
added across the top of the opening to shorten the
opening. If youattempt to raisethe refrigerator
