Flush or Semi-Flush Enclosure Installations

0" True Flush In In a flush in the refrigerator will align even front face of adjace doors. The refrigerator

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.

3/4" Semi-Flush These r can also semi-flush into a using the mini

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 Panel 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.

Enclosure Cutout and Product Dimensions

• To achieve a flush fit the finished cutout width must be at least 36" wide.
• A semi-flush installation requires 35-1/2" min. finished cutout width.
• The electrical and water locations must be located as shown for either type of installation.

Design Information

36" Built-In Refrigerators

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.

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.

See page 14 for side panel sizes.

Installation Between Base & Wall Cabinets

Materials Required	Water shut-off valve (optional but recommended)Custom panels for fresh food, freezer compartments, grille panelSide panels		Hardware for side panel installation.36" long 2x4 for Anti-Tip support
Flooring	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.		Note: Protect the finish of the flooring. Cut a large section of the cardboard carton and place under the refrigerator where you are working.
Grounding the 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.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 plugBecause 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.		CAUTIONAttaching 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.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 CordsBecause 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.PRUDENCEFICHE D'ADAPTATION(Fiches d'adaptation non permises au Canada)

Step 1 Remove Packaging

CAUTION

Refrigerator is much heavier at the top than at the bottom – be careful when moving. When using a hand truck, handle from side only.

PRUDENCE

• Remove outer carton.
• Carefully cut banding at the top and bottom.
• Slide out back corner posts (2).
• Slide carton off top of cabinet.
  NOTE: IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO LAY CABINET DOWN IN ORDER TO REMOVE SKID!
• To remove skid, remove the four 7/16" bolts and their brackets.

CAUTION

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ROLL UNIT OFF SKID.

PRUDENCE

IL NE FAUT PAS ESSAYER DE FAIRE ROULER LE RÉFRIGÉRATEUR POUR L'ENLEVER DE LAY PALETTE.

7/16" Bolt

• There are support blocks on the bottom of the cabinet and door. They must be removed before sliding unit off the skid or damage will occur.
• Carefully, tilt cabinet and slide blocks out from beneath cabinet, slide unit off skid.
• Remove toekick from fresh food compartment and set aside for later installation.

Step 2 Install Water Line

• A cold water supply is required for automatic icemaker operation. The water pressure must be between 40 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.

Saddle Type Shutoff Valve Packing Nut Outlet Valve Washer Inlet End Pipe Clamp Compression Nut Ferrule (Sleeve)

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.

NOTE: Commonwealth of Massachusetts Plumbing Codes 248CMR shall be adhered to. Saddle valves are illegal and use is not permitted in Massachusetts. Consult with your licensed plumber.

Step 2A For Installations With A Reverse Osmosis System Only

Skip This Step When Not Using RO System

WARNING

When connecting a GE Reverse Osmosis Water System to your refrigerator, the only approved installation is with a GE RVKIT.

If the water supply to the refrigerator is from a Reverse Osmosis Water System AND the refrigerator also has a water filter, use the refrigerator's filter bypass plug. Using the refrigerator's water filtration cartridge in conjunction with the RO filter can result in hollow ice cubes and slower water flow from the water dispenser.

Rotate Clockwise To Remove

Filter Bypass Plug

If you use the bypass Plug and want a light shield without the filter opening, order a replacement solid light shield WR02X3025.

ATTENTION

• Side panels are not required when the refrigerator is installed into an enclosure. Skip this step if you are installing in an enclosure.
• Side panels are required whenever the sides of the refrigerator will be exposed and when installed between frameless cabinets. See pages 3 and 4.
• Side panel installation will be determined by the design of the side panel you have previously chosen.

• Side panels must be installed plumb.

• If you choose to use 1/4" side panels, they should be inserted into the case trim as illustrated. Fasten the panels to the refrigerator with Velcro strips (provided) before setting refrigerator in place. See illustration A.

Step 2A:

FOR STAINLESS STEEL PANELS

If you are installing these handles onto Stainless Steel panels:

Use extreme caution if you are drilling through stainless steel panels. Stainless panels must be handled gently. Do not kneel on stainless steel panels. It will leave a permanent dent. Do not remove protective plastic covering until final installation.

• Place supplied filler panel (corrugated) on floor to use as a pad.
• On the back side of the panel—at the handle side, measure and mark 1/4" below the top edge of the panel.

For models with full width dispenser trim and 2-piece freezer panels:

—Measure and mark 1/4" below the top edge of the upper panel.
-Measure and mark 1/4" above bottom edge of lower panel.
- Slip panels into the new extrusion, flush against inner edge, on the handle side.

• 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 down. Be sure plywood is clean without nicks and burrs. Center punch at each screw hole location.
• Drill 1/8" pilot hole. Use 9/32" bit to enlarge clearance hole.
• Measure and cut a 2" wide strip, top to bottom off the corrugated panels. This will allow room for spacer rings between the stainless panel and extrusion.

Step 3: Install Standoffs onto Handles

• 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.

• Press foam pads against steel doors to temporarily reduce thickness.
• Crimp top and bottom edges of corrugated.
• Slide corrugated onto doors, leave about 1/4" gap between edge of corrugated and hinge side.

Note: Panels have a protective plastic covering. Peel away just enough to allow panel to slide into trim and to clear handle mounting screws. The plastic covering will keep the panels clean during the installation process.

- Slide panels into the door trim. Leave about 4" of the panel exposed to allow room to install the handle extrusion.

Be sure to maintain 1/4" gap between corrugated and hinge side trim.

• Place a spacer ring over each of the 4 screw holes on the extrusion. Use tape to hold in place.
• Place extrusion onto back side of panel. Use a pencil to punch hole in tape over spacer rings and align with screw holes.
• Install 4 mounting screws through the extrusion and panel.
• Screw handle to panel, starting at the top. Moving down the handle, drive each screw partially into the standoff, alternating back to the top until the handle is tight against the panel.
• Slide the assembly into the door frame until the extrusion fits firmly against the steel door.
• Reinstall original screws into the door extrusion.

Raised Panel on 1/4" Thick Backing:

A raised panel design secured to a 1/4" thick backing (screwed or glued) can be used with this handle kit.

• Cut the 1/4" thick panels to size.
• Fabricate the raised panel to allow 1-1/4" clearance from the hinge side to avoid striking adjacent cabinetry.
• Allow 5/16" clearance at the top, bottom and handle side edges to allow for the trim flange.
  • Total thickness should not exceed 3/4".
• Countertops adjacent to the refrigerator installation should be mitered 45^ .
