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 approximately 3/4" beyond the front
face of surrounding cabinetry.
In any installation situation, a wide range of appearance options can be accomplished through the use of
one or more trim kits. See trim kit descriptions and
appearance options on page 5.
• To achieve a flush fit the finished cutout width must
be at least 48" wide.
• A semi-flush installation requires 47-1/2" min. finished
cutout width.
• The electrical and water locations must be located as
shown for either type of installation.
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 Panels Requirements:
• 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.

Installation Examples
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 refrigerator into the opening.
Design Information
48" Built-In Refrigerators
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.

For proper installation, this refrigerator must be placed
on a level surface of hard material that is at the same
height as the rest of the flooring. This surface should be
strong enough to support a fully loaded refrigerator.
IMPORTANT - (Please read carefully)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED.
The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a
three-prong (grounding) plug which mates with a
standard three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle to
minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from
this appliance.

CAUTION
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,
and the wall outlet is grounded through the house
wiring. You should have the circuit checked by a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
INSTALLATION
PRODUCT
Have the 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.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT
OR REMOVE THE THIRD
(GROUND) PRONG
FROM THE POWER CORD.
Use of 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 CONNECTION, may
be made to a properly grounded 2-prong wall outlet by
use of a UL listed adapter available at most hardware
stores.
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.
When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter,
always hold the adapter in place with one hand and
pulling 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, DO NOT USE
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 rating of the cord be 15 amperes (minimum)
and 120 volts.

Water Line
• A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker
operation. The water pressure must be between 20 and
120 p.s.i.
• Route 1/4" OD copper tubing between house cold water
line and the water connection location.
• Copper tubing should be long enough to extend to the
front of the refrigerator. Allow enough to accommodate
bend leading into the water valve.
Shut off the main water supply.
Turn on the nearest faucet long enough to clear the line
of water.
• Install a shut-off valve between the icemaker water
valve and cold water pipe in a basement or cabinet.
The shut-off valve should be located where it will be
easily accessible.
NOTE: It is best to install the valve into a vertical water
pipe. If you install the valve into a horizontal water pipe,
make the connection at the top or side, rather than at
the bottom, to avoid drawing off any sediment from the
water pipe.
• Drill a 1/4" hole in the water pipe.
• Fasten the shut-off valve to the pipe with pipe clamp.
• Tighten the clamp screws until the sealing washer
begins to swell. Do not over tighten.
• Place a compression nut and ferrule (sleeve) onto the
end of the tubing and connect it to the shut-off valve.
Make sure the tubing is fully inserted into the valve and
ferrule is tightened.
• Turn on the main water supply and flush debris from
the line. Run about a quart of water through the tubing
into a bucket. Shut off water supply at the shut-off
valve.
Floor
Copper Tubing
NOTE: Saddle type shut-off valves are included in
many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure
a saddle type valve complies with your local plumbing
codes.
• Install optional water filter in the water line near the
refrigerator. A water filter is recommended in areas
where water supply contains sand or particles.
Installation instructions are packed with the filter.

• Slip panels into the new extrusion, flush against inner
edge, on the handle side.
• Place a handle standoff on each attachment post
along the handle. Position the set screw hole on each
standoff to point to the floor.
• Install set screws into the bottom of each standoff,
using the Allen wrench provided. The standoff should
be tight against the handle.
• Align extrusion to pencil mark(s) as shown in Step 2.
Mark each screw hole location with pencil.
• Tape extrusions to panels to prevent movement.
• Place panel on plywood section, appearance side
