ZIS420NR – GE Monogram 42" Built-In Side-by-Side Refrigerator
with Automatic Icemaker and Water Filter
The Installation Space
Door Swing Clearances
Space is the first consideration when planning the installation.
The cutout depth must be 24"
The refrigerator will project forward, slightly beyond adjacent
cabinetry, depending on your installation.
The cutout depth beneath a soffit
When installed beneath a soffit, the soffit cannot exceed the
24" installation depth shown. The top case trim overlaps the
bottom of the soffit.
Electrical
A 115V, 60Hz., 15 or 20 amp power supply is required. An
individual properly grounded branch circuit or circuit breaker
is recommended. Install a properly grounded 3-prong electrical
receptacle recessed into the back wall. Electrical must be
located on rear wall as shown.

Labor atories
Note: GFI (ground fault interrupter) is not recommended.
Water Line
All models are equipped with an automatic icemaker. The
water line can enter the opening through the floor or back
wall. Route 1/4" O.D. copper tubing or GE QuickConnect
kit between the cold water line and the water connection
location. The copper tubing should be long enough to extend
to the front of the refrigerator. The installation of an easily
accessible shut-off valve in the water line is required.
Specification Revised 3/08
110165
The installation must allow for clearances to adjacent walls or
cabinets. These refrigerators are equipped with a 2-position
door stop. The factory-set 130° door swing can be adjusted to
90° if clearance to adjacent cabinets or walls is restricted.
Allow minimum clearances for freezer door and fresh food
door for a full 130° door swing and to allow for pan removal.
• 4" minimum clearance is required when door swing is
adjusted to 90°. If the 90° door stop position is used, pan
access is maintained, but pan removal is restricted.
• See door swing illustrations to determine interaction with
adjacent cabinets or countertops.
Installation Information: Before installing, consult
installation instructions packed with product, or online at
Monogram.com, for current dimensional data.

Customization Basics: Framed or Overlay Panels, Custom Handles and Accessory Kits
Trimmed Refrigerators
ZIS420NRSS, ZISW420DRSS, ZISB420DRSS
Trimmed refrigerators are designed to be customized with decorative
panels. Field-installed custom door and grille panels are required.
Framed Panels
You may install 1/4"-thick custom panels from your cabinet
manufacturer. The decorative panels slide into the factory-installed
trim. Or, order black, white and stainless steel accessory panels
from your Monogram dealer.
Standard supplied handles shown in 1/4" panel position.
Overlay Panels
You may also choose to install custom overlay panels from your
cabinet manufacturer. This design provides a seamless appearance
which integrates smoothly with surrounding cabinetry.
Door Handles
The supplied handles can be adjusted to accommodate both framed
or overlay panels. Custom handles of your choice, supplied by your
cabinet maker, can also be installed. If desired, you may order ZKHSS2
Monogram stainless steel tubular handle kit for overlay panels.
Side Panels
Side panels must be used whenever
the sides of the refrigerator will be
exposed. The 1/4" side panels will
slip into the side case trim. Secure
the panels to the refrigerator with
stick-on hook and loop fastener strips.
Order the side panels from the
cabinet manufacturer.
• Cut a notch in the top front corner
as shown to allow clearance for
corner keys in the front side trim.
*Depending on installation height.
Optional Accessory Kit
ZKHSS2: Tubular Stainless Steel handles designed to fit
3/4" overlay panels.
Accessory Panels
White or black acrylic and stainless steel accessory panels are
available from your Monogram supplier. Panels are cut to size and
ready to install. These panel kits must be ordered separately.

3/4" Overlay Panel Dimensions
For a more custom appearance, overlay
panels may be installed on trimmed
models. The overlay panel must be
secured to a 1/4"-thick backer panel
which slides into the trim. A spacer
panel 0.10" thick must be placed
between the overlay and backer panels.
.250" + .10" + .750" =
1.100" Total Panel Thickness
Center each panel over the other.
Assemble the panels with glue
and screws. Screws must be
countersunk into the backer panel.
NOTE: Left-to-right offset
is not always equal to
top-to-bottom offset.
If you choose to install framed panels,
they must be cut to the dimensions
shown. The panels will slide into the
frame on the door and grille.
If the custom panel is less than 1/4" thick,
and it fits loosely in the door frame, it can
be backed up with a piece of filler material
or foam tape to improve the fit.
Important Note: Maximum weight for
fresh food panel is 50 pounds and 30
pounds for freezer panel.

IMPORTANT NOTE –
FOR DISPENSER MODELS
Dispenser models are supplied with
two dispenser trims, one to fit framed panels
and one for overlay panels. Dispenser trim fit
to the custom panel depends on correct
panel thickness. Framed panels
must be 1/4" nominal. Overlay panels
should be constructed as shown
to accomplish a total
1.100" thickness.
Frameless Cabinets: The case trim overlaps
cabinets at the top and sides. Therefore,
frameless cabinets may require filler strips
to prevent interference with cabinet door swing.
The opening must allow for filler strips.
