THE JADE™ BUILT-IN REFRIGERATOR
The Jade™ built-in refrigerator is the new choice in built-in
refrigeration excellence for discriminating homeowners — a choice
that’s backed by the solid reputation of Jade as a leader in the
development of innovative kitchen solutions. Now Jade continues
that tradition with a built-in refrigerator that is setting new
standards in style, storage and performance.
Personalization is the guiding principle behind every aspect of
the Jade™ built-in refrigerator design, from its variety of exterior
styling possibilities, to adaptable choices in interior storage, to
performance that exceeds expectations. It all begins with these
distinct styling options — our versatile overlay model featuring the
homeowner’s choice of custom panels and handles or our elegant
framed model featuring custom panels offset by sleek trim and
matching handles. Exterior customization continues with your
client’s choice of a dispenser or nondispenser model.
Adaptable interior storage enables the client to create and
recreate the space inside the refrigerator with ease. Adjustable
shelves and bins.
When it comes to performance, the Jade™ built-in refriger-
ator excels. The key to its superb performance edge is our
Professional Temperature Management™ System. This sophis-
ticated multi-component system is highlighted by our variable-
speed compressor and Optifresh™ storage drawers, two features
which help ensure precise temperatures for outstanding food
preservation.
that provide the best insulation and rigidity possible. A four-
square leveling system allows for each corner of the refrigerator
to be adjusted from the front of the unit for easier and more
precise leveling. And the acoustic design of our Ultra-Quiet sound
package ensures incredibly quiet performance.
You’ll also find that our built-in refrigerator is backed by one of
the best warranties in the industry. The Jade™ built-in refrig-
erator warranty provides parts and labor coverage for a full
three years from the original Purchase date. A five-year parts
and labor warranty and a six-through twelve-year parts warranty
covers major refrigeration components including the compressor,
evaporator, condenser, drier and connecting tubing.
This Design Guide outlines the unique features of the Jade™
built-in refrigerator and provides general guidelines for a smooth
installation process. Complete installation instructions are
shipped with each unit. Refer to these instructions when
preparing and installing all Jade® products. Should you have

DESIGN OPTIONS
Refrigerators that satisfy a world of individual preferences.
Jade™ built-in refrigerators offer a variety of models with design
options and interior options that can easily be personalized for
each client. From our cool and cultured stainless steel refrigerator,
to the distinctive appeal of our overlay design, to the popular look
of the framed model, Jade has an option that will fit your client's
dream kitchen perfectly (see illustrations below).
Stainless steel models with beautiful wrapped doors come
with stainless steel towel-bar handles. Nondispenser models
are available, as well as dispenser models with a sleek, black
dispenser that enhances the professional look. A heavy-duty
11" stainless steel grille finishes the look.
Overlay models utilize custom panels to convey an elegant,
seamless appearance unique to each client’s kitchen. Since these
models do not include handles, you have the freedom to choose
from a practically unlimited array of handle styles to match
or complement the hardware on surrounding cabinetry. Non-
dispenser models or models with a black dispenser are available.
The 11" grille at the top and toe kickplate at the bottom also accept
custom panels.
Framed models are offered with silver etched frames and
handles to complement the custom panels your client has chosen.
Attractive full-length handles add sophistication to our framed
models. Dispenser and nondispenser framed models are available.
On dispenser models, a black dispenser silver etched frame and
handles. An 11" grille at the top and a toe kickplate at the bottom

Filtered ice and water dispenser with sleek, backlit design provides
a distinctive look for built-in refrigerator dispenser models. The
®
PuriClean
filtration system delivers fresh, filtered water and crushed
or cubed ice anytime, and touch sensors activate with just a light
touch.
Stainless steel models feature a black dispenser surrounded
completely by the stainless steel of the door and covered with stain-
less steel overlay. Framed models can accept a freezer panel that fits
around all sides of the dispenser. Or, you may choose a custom deco-
rator freezer panel to blend perfectly with your cabinetry on framed or
overlay models.
Installation considerations: Before the built-in refrigerator is
installed, it is important to make sure the unit shipped matches the
exact design that you have specified and ordered. When the unit
Dispenser (shown in stainless steel model)
arrives at the installation site, make sure the installer checks the
shipment carefully.
Each of the three design choices — stainless steel, overlay and framed — has distinct installation requirements, which means it is crucial
that the unit delivered matches your space and planning requirements. The shipping carton will be labeled with a model number that
will describe exactly the size, design, handle style, color and whether the unit is a dispenser or nondispenser model. Note that the 4th
position of the model number indicates the different styles. (See chart below for model number guide.)
Installation instructions are shipped with each unit. Follow those instructions when preparing the space, uncrating the unit, and when
installing any Jade™ built-in refrigerator. If you cannot locate the installation instructions, call Jade Customer Assistance toll-free at 1-
800-794-5233 (U.S. and Canada). Or visit the Customer Service section of www.jadeappliances.com to download complete instructions
quickly and easily.

INSTALLATION GUIDE – GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS
Even though Jade™ built-in refrigerators are available in a wide
range of design styles and configurations, the basic installation
planning information for all models has things in common. After
the decision has been made to install a Jade™ built-in refrigerator, be sure to review the installation requirements for the model
design chosen.
Make sure the opening where the unit will be installed is
properly prepared. Refer to Figure 1. Also check placements
for the electrical outlet and water line as shown in Figure 1.

Electrical Connection
This appliance is designed to operate on a normal 115 volt, 15 amp,
60 cycle line. There should be a separate, grounded circuit serving
this appliance only. Do not use an extension cord. Do not use any
device that will alter the electrical performance of this appliance.
For the placement of the electrical outlet, refer to Figure 1. Do not
use a ground fault circuit interrupter.
Plumbing Requirements
• Rough in the water line for the location (FIG. 1).
• Connect a
1
⁄4" (0.64 cm) copper line to the house water supply
in compliance with local codes and ordinances.
• Use a shutoff valve between the refrigerator and water
supply. The shutoff should be a drilled saddle valve. Do not
use a self-tapping valve.
• The icemaker operates on 30 — 120 PSI.
• Route the water line within
1
⁄2" (1.3cm) of the wall and no higher
than 3" (7.6 cm) from the floor. Allow at least 3' (0.91 m) of excess
copper tubing outside the wall for easy connection to the
water valve.
IMPORTANT TIP: In homes with a reverse-osmosis water
treatment system, remove the water inlet connector from
the yellow valve and attach to the blue valve. Make sure the
water filter bypass plug is in place.

For the door to open properly, it must be able to open at least
90 degrees. For installation in a corner, a 2" (5.1cm) filler strip is
required to ensure the 90-degree opening. Be sure to add the
filler strip width to your finished rough-in dimension.
The floor under the refrigerator has to be level with the
surrounding floor. To protect the floor when moving the refrigerator, place cardboard or a carpet remnant with the backing placed
up on the floor.
IMPORTANT TIP: Refer to the illustrations at the end of this
section for details on door openings and filler-size alternatives.
Uncrating The Unit
Uncrate the unit. Remove the lower shipping bolts and brackets.
Slide the unit off of the crate base. Remove and save the
lower toe kickplate, anti-tipping brackets and mounting hardware
(FIG. 2a). Remove the upper cover (this will help when moving the
unit) (FIG. 2b).
