Handle Side Clearance
–At least 2" (51 mm) on the handle side for fingertip clearances.
Top and Bottom Clearance
–At least 3/16" (4.75 mm) at the top and bottom edges to allow for
trim flange.
Hinge Side Clearance
•A 3/4”(19 mm) thick door panel may strike thje adjacent countertops
when the door is fully opened. Therefore, the hinge side clearance to
raised panel will vary according to installation situation.
–Allow 1-3/4”(44 mm) clearance when installation does not include
side panels.
–The installation of 3/4" (19 mm) thick side panels requires less
clearance because the space between the door and adjacent
countertop is wider.
•To avoid door contact to countertop consider:
–Miter the corner of the adjacent countertops 45°, or
–pull the refrigerator forward enough to avoid contact.
IMPORTANT: Before finalizing specifications for your GE Profile Performance™
CustomStyle™Refrigerator, Please NOTE:
• A minimum of 36" is required for refrigerator installation
• Be sure to allow for 1/2" or 3/4" side panels in addition to the 36" minimum

An enclosure is required to match up to the trim, see Typical Installation. To obtain the
most integrated look, the cabinet or soffit above the refrigerator should extend out to the
same depth as the side panels. The refrigerator opening must have minimum dimensions
of 70-1/4" high x 36-1/8" wide x 24-1/2" deep as shown at right. If there is an overhead
cabinet, allow 1" for cabinet door clearance with the top trim piece so the cabinet doors
can be opened without hitting the top trim. If 1/2" side panels are used, then side trim
and panel will be even. If 3/4" side panels are used, then some of the side panel will
extend beyond the trim and must be finished.
Collar Trim Installation
*The rough-in dimension of 70-1/4" is minimum and is
measured from the finished floor to top of opening (or the
underside of the overhead cabinets).
For Models with Trim Kit: If frameless style cabinets are planned
for above the refrigerator, you may need to consider adding a
maximum of 1/4" (70-1/2") to height of opening to allow addi-
tional clearance between cabinet doors and top of refrigerator
trim when cabinet doors are in open position.
