THE INSTALLATION SPACE

Water And Electrical Locations

The opening must be prepared with the electrical and water supply located as shown.

The cutout depth must be at least 610 mm

The refrigerator will project forward, slightly beyond adjacent cabinetry, depending on your installation.

Cutout depth beneath a soffit:

When installed beneath a soffit, the soffit cannot exceed the 610 mm installation depth shown. The top case trim overlaps the bottom of the soffit.

Additional Specifications

• 220 to 240 volt, 50 Hz., 4.5 amps power supply is required. An individual properly earthed branch circuit or circuit breaker is recommended. Install a properly earthed electrical receptacle recessed into the back wall. Electrical outlet must be located on rear wall as shown.

• Use the supplied water line kit or GE SmartConnect

™

Refrigerator Tubing kit to connect the water line on the refrigerator to the house water supply. Installation of an easily accessible shut-off valve in the water line is required.

DIMENSIONS AND CLEARANCES

Product Clearances

These refrigerators are equipped with a 2-position doorstop. The factory-set 130° door swing can be adjusted to 90° if clearance to adjacent cabinets or walls is restricted.

*Finished cutout width must be:

1054 mm for 42” Models 1207 mm for 48” models

90° Door Swing130° Door Swing

* Shipping height.

The refrigerator can be adjusted to fit into a cutout that is 2121 min. to 2146 mm max. height. Note that the top case trim at the front is 13 mm higher and will overlap upper cabinetry or soffit. Use leveling legs and wheels for a maximum 25 mm height adjustment.

Allow minimum clearances for the freezer door (Dimension A) and fresh food door (Dimension B) for a full 130° door swing and to allow for pan removal.

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

6 mm nominal. Overlay panels should be constructed as shown to accomplish a total 28 mm thickness. See pages 7 and 8 for details.

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.

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.

Non-Dispenser Models

If the custom panel is less than 6 mm 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 total panel weight:

• Fresh food door panel – 34 kg.

• Freezer door panel – 24 kg.

• Grille Panel – 8 kg.

The framed panel must be 6 mm nominal thickness to fit the dispenser trim.

IMPORTANT NOTE – DISPENSER MODELS

The refrigerator is supplied with two dispenser trims, one for framed panels and one for overlay panels.

• If the panel is less than 6 mm thick, a noticeable gap may be created around the dispenser trim. Foam tape may be applied on the door to improve the fit.

• If the panel is more than 6 mm thick, the dispenser trim cannot be secured to the door.

For a more custom appearance, overlay panels may be installed on trimmed models. The overlay panel must be secured to a 6 mm thick backer panel which slides into the trim. A spacer panel 3 mm thick must be placed between the overlay and backer panel.

Assemble the panels with glue and screws:

• Center the spacer panel on the backer panel, left to right and top to bottom. Secure the panels with glue.

• Center the spacer and backer panel on the overlay panel and secure 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.

IMPORTANT NOTE – DISPENSER MODELS

The refrigerator is supplied with two dispenser trims, one for framed panels and one for overlay panels. The overlay dispenser trim is designed to fit a total panel thickness of 28 mm.

• If the panel is less than 28 mm a noticeable gap may be created around the dispenser trim.

• If the panel is more than 28 mm the dispenser trim cannot be secured to the door.

See Dispenser Trim Fit Examples, page 9.

6 mm + 3 mm + 19 mm = 28 mm Total Panel Thickness

• The overlay panel must be constructed according to the specifications shown to achieve the correct total thickness.

• Alternative panel construction methods such as securing a 19 mm panel to a 6 mm backer panel cannot be used. Another method, routing a 19 mm thick panel on all sides, cannot be used. These methods will not result in the required 28 mm panel thickness.

When a raised panel design is to be used, a custom middle rail is required. See page 9 for details.
