True Flush Installation
In a flush installation,
the refrigerator doors
will align evenlg with the
J front face of adjacent cabinet
doors. The refrigerator blends
into the surrounding
cabinetrg.
Monogram built-in refrigerators and freezers can be
installed flush with tgpical 24-5/4" deep cabinetry.
When installed semi-flush, the case trim will conceal
slight gaps around the enclosure. The refrigerator or
freezer will project forward approximatelg 5/4"
beyond the front face of surrounding cabinetrg.
In ang 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 6.
;emi-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 Panel Requirements:
,, Side panels are not required whenever the
refrigerator is installed into an enclosure or
between pantr U and oven cabinets.
. Side panels are required whenever the sides of the
refrigerator are exposed.
Side panel sizes var U depending on the tgpe 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
manufacturen Be sure to provide the exact
dimensions.

Installation
Examples Side panels are required whenever the sides of the
product will be exposed.
1/2" to 5/4" side panels are normally set into place
and fastened to adjacent cabinetry or back wall
before rolling the refrigerator or freezer into the
opening.
Therefore, the rough-in dimensions must allow
for side panel thickness. In a flush and semi-flush
installation, the finished dimension (width of the
opening after side panels are installed) must
accommodate the full width of the product.
See page 11 for side panel sizes.

For proper installation, the refrigerator or freezer
must be placed on a level surface of hard material
the same height as the rest of the flooring. The floor
should be strong enough to support a fullg loaded
refrigerator or freezer, or approximatel U 1,200 Ibs.
NOTE: Protect the finish of the flooring. Cut a large
section of the cardboard carton and place under the
product where gou are working.
IMPORTANT- (Please read carefullg)
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLYGROUNDED.
The power cord of these appliances is equipped with
a three-prong {grounding) plug which mates with a
standard three-prong {grounding) wall receptacle to
minimize the possibilitg of electric shock hazard from
this appliance.
Have the wall outlet and circuit checked bg a
qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is
properlg grounded.
Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered,
it is gour personal responsibilitg and obligation to
have it replaced with a properlg grounded 3-prong
wall outlet.
IMPORTANT:
We recommend two separate l15V, 60Hz. 20 amp.,
properlg grounded electrical outlets for a side bg
side installation of two products. Each electrical
outlet should have a voltage rating that matches
the rating plate.
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 stronglg recommend against use
of an adapter plug. However, if gou still elect to use
an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY
CONNECTION,mag be made to a properlg grounded
2-prong wall outlet bg use of a UL listed adapter
available at most hardware stores.
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 bg a qualified electrician to make sure
the outlet is properlg grounded.
FICHED'ADAPTATION
(Fiches d'adaptation non permises au Canada)
When disconnecting the power cord from the
adapter, alwags hold the adapter in place with one
hand and pull the power cord with the other hand.
If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is
verg likelg 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 safetg hazards under certain
conditions, we stronglg recommend against the use
of an extension cord. However, if gou still elect to use
an extension cord, it is absolutel U necessar U that it
be a UL listed 3-wire grounding tgpe appliance
extension cord having a grounding tgpe plug and
outlet and that the electrical rating of the cord be
15 amperes {minimum) and 120 volts.
The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with
the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper
polarit U in the connection of the power cord.

Route 1/4" OD copper or GESmartConnect TM
tubing between house cold water line and the
water connection location.
Tubing should be long enough to extend to
the front of the refrigerator. Allow enough to
accommodate bend leading into the water valve.
NOTE:The onlg GEapproved plastic tubing is
supplied in the GESmartConnect TM Refrigerator
Tubing kits. Do not use ang other plastic water
supplg line because the line is under pressure at all
times. Other tgpes of plastic mag crack or rupture
with age and cause water damage to gour home.
GE SmartConnect TM Refrigerator Tubing Kits are
available in the following lengths:
2' (.6 m) WXO8XIO002

Shut off the main water supplg.
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 easilg accessible.
Turn on the main water supplg and flush debris
from the line. Run about a quart of water through
the tubing into a bucket. Shut off water at the
shut-off valve.
NOTE:Saddle tgpe shut-off valves are included in
mang water supplg kits, but are not recommended
for this application.
