Advance Planning

True Flush Installation
In a flush installation,
the refrigerator doors
will align evenly with the
front face of adjacent cabinet
doors. The refrigerator blends
into the surrounding cabinetry.
Monogram built-in refrigerators 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 approxi-
mately 3/4" beyond the front face of sur-
rounding cabinetry.
Stainless Steel Built-In Refrigerators
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 PanelsRequirements:
• Side panels are not required whenever the
refrigerator is installed into an enclosure or
between pantry and oven cabinets.
• Side panels are required whenever the sides
of the refrigerator are exposed.
• Side panel sizes vary depending on the type
of installation being made.
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 manufacturer. Be sure to provide
the exact dimensions.

Side panels are required whenever the sides
of the refrigerator will be exposed.
1/2" to 3/4" side panels are normally set into
place and fastened to adjacent cabinetry or to
the back wall before rolling the refl'igerator
into the opening.

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 refrigerator

Side panels, 1/2" minimum

These refrigerators are equipped with special
hinges that allows the door to swing out and
away from the cabinet. No clearances are
required on the sides.
When the refrigerator is installed in a corner:
* A 4" min. clearance between the case trim
and the adjacent wall on both sides of the
refrigerator will assure a 90 ° door opening
and access to all drawers.
• A 10" clearance on both sides is required for
removal of pans.

The water line can be routed through
the floor or back wall.
• 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 required. An individual properly grounded
branch circuit or circuit breaker is recom-
mended, as noted on the rating plate. The
rating plate is located on the top on the
evaporator box and is visible when grille
panel is removed.
• Locate the electrical outlet within 5" x 7"
shaded area shown. From the right side:
12-3/8" for 36" models, 18-3/8" for 42" models,
20-3/8" for 48" models
• Between 74" and 81" from the floor.
These refrigerators are supplied with a grille
panel cover sized to fit a typical 84" installation
height. If the installation height varies, order:
