f
True FlushInstallation
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.
;emi-FlushInstallation
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.
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 appear-
ance options can be accomplished through the use of
one or more trim kits. See trim kit descriptions and
appearance options on page 6.
SidePanels 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 sizesvary depending on the type of
installation being made.
Toaccomplishan attractiveinstallation, 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 dimen-
sions.

Cutout and

Dimensions
• To achieve a flush fit the finished cutout width must
be at least 36"wide.

Side panels are required whenever the sides ofthe
refrigerator will be exposed.
1/T to 3/4" side panels are normally set into place and
fastened to adjacent cabinetry orto the back wall
before rolling the refrigerator into the opening.
Therefore, the rough-in dimensions must allow for side
panelthickness. In both a flush and semi-flush
installation, the finished dimension, (thewidth ofthe
opening after side panels are installed), must accom-
modatethe full width of the refrigerator.

section of the cardboard carton and place under the

Grounding
the
Refrigerator
IMPORTANT- (Please read carefully)
FORPERSONALSAFETY,THIS APPLIANCE MUSTBE
PROPERLYGROUNDED.
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.
Havethe wall outlet and circuit checked bya qualified
electrician to makesure 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,UNDERANY
CIRCUMSTANCES,CUT
ORREMOVETHETHIRD
(GROUND)PRONG
FROMTHEPOWERCORD.
Useof 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, aTEMPORARYCONNECTION,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.
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,
andthe wall outlet is grounded through the house
wiring. Youshould have the circuit checked bya
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properly grounded.
FICHED'ADAPTAT]ON
(Fiches d'adaptation non permises au Canada)
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. Ifthis is not
done,the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break
with repeated use.
Should the adapter ground terminal break, DONOTUSE
the appliance until a proper ground has again been
established.
Useof ExtensionCords
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 ofthe cord be 15amperes (minimum)
and 120volts.

• A cold water supply is required for automatic
icemaker operation. The water pressure must be
between 20 and 120p.a.i.
• Route 1/4"ODcopper tubing between house cold
water line and the water connection location.
• Copper tubing should be long enough to extend to the
front ofthe refrigerator. Allow enough to accommo-
date bend leading into the water valve.
Shutoffthe mainwater supply.
Turn onthe nearest faucet long enough to clear the line
ofwater.
• 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. Ifyou install the valve into a horizontal water pipe,
makethe 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.
• Fastenthe 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 acompression nut and ferrule (sleeve} onto the
endof the tubing and connect it to the shut-off valve.
Make sure the tubing isfully inserted into the valve
andferrule is tightened.
• Turn onthe main water supply andflush debris from
the line. Runabout a quart of water through the tubing
into a bucket. Shut off water supply at the shut-off
valve.
