will align evenly with the front
face of adjacent cabinet doors.
The refrigerator blends into the
surrounding cabinetry.
Monogram built-in refrigerators and freezers can be
installed flush with typical 24-3/4" deep cabinetry.
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.
When installed semi-flush, the case trim will conceal
slight gaps around the enclosure. The refrigerator or
freezer 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 6.
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.

Flooring
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 fully loaded refrigerator or
freezer, or approximately 1,200 lbs.
NOTE: Protect the finish of the flooring. Cut a large
section of the cardboard carton and place under the
product where you are working.
Grounding the
Refrigerator
IMPORTANT – (Please read carefully)
CAUTION
FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED.
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.
The power cord of these appliances are 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.
PRUDENCE
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.
FICHE D’ADAPTATION
(Fiches d’adaptation non permises au Canada)
IMPORTANT:
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.
We recommend two separate 115V, 60Hz. 20 amp.,
properly grounded electrical outlets for a side by
side installation of two products. Each electrical
outlet should have a voltage rating that matches the
rating plate.
Should the adapter ground terminal break, DO NOT USE
the appliance until a proper ground has again been
established.
DO NOT, UNDER ANY
CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT
OR REMOVE THE THIRD
(GROUND) PRONG
Use of Extension Cords
FROM THE POWER CORD.
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.
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.

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 or GE SmartConnect™
tubing between house cold water line and the water
connection location.
Floor
• Tubing should be long enough to extend to the front of
the refrigerator. Allow enough to accommodate bend
leading into the water valve.
Tubing
NOTE: The only GE approved plastic tubing is supplied
in the GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing kits.
Do not use any other plastic water supply line because
the line is under pressure at all times. Other types of
plastic may crack or rupture with age and cause water
damage to your home.
• 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.
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.
GE SmartConnect™ Refrigerator Tubing Kits are
available in the following lengths:
2' (.6 m) WX08X10002
6' (1.8 m) WX08X10006
15' (4.6 m) WX08X10015
25' (7.6 m) WX08X10025
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.
• Turn on the main water supply and flush debris from
the line. Run about a quart of water through the tubing

CAUTION
PRUDENCE
Les roues de nivellement arrière et les pattes de
nivellement avant permettent un réglage maximal
de 25 mm (1 po). Si l’ouverture pour le réfrigérateur
a une hauteur supérieure à 2,15 m (84-1/2 po),
l’installateur doit élever le réfrigérateur sur une
feuille de contre-plaqué ou des glissières. Il est
également possible d’ajouter des baguettes de
finition des placards sur le haut de l’ouverture afin
de la réduire. Lever le réfrigérateur de plus de 25
mm (1 po) endommage les pattes de nivellement
avant et les roues de nivellement arrière.
The rear leveling wheels and front leveling legs
are limited to a maximum height adjustment of 1".
If the installation requires more than 84-1/2" height,
the installer should elevate the refrigerator on a
sheet of plywood or runners. Cabinetry trim could
also be added across the top of the opening to
shorten the opening. If you attempt to raise the
refrigerator more than 1", you will damage
the front leveling legs and the rear leveling
wheels.

• Gently push each product into opening with hands
against front corners. Push back into the opening until
it is flush or semi-flush with adjacent cabinets.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When the products are installed
under a soffit or if there is not enough height for this
method of security, use Step 4 as an alternative. The
refrigerator and freezer must be secured to prevent
tipping.
Step 3
Level Both
Products
Both products MUST BE LEVEL AND PLUMB with each
other and adjacent cabinetry on each side. Toekick
heights should align with cabinetry.
• Adjust carefully. Both models have 4-point leveling.
The front is supported by leveling legs, the rear is
supported by wheels.
Hex Nut Adjusts
Rear Wheels
• Raise units to the same level, aligning with adjacent
toekick heights.
• Adjust rear wheels beneath the product to just barely
touch the 2x4 block.
Leveling Leg
• Turn the 7/16" hex nut located above the front wheels
to raise or lower the back of the refrigerator.
• To adjust the front leveling legs: Use a 1/4" angled
wrench to turn the top of the leveling leg, or turn the
bottom of the legs with a 1-1/4" wrench.
Units must be 1" apart and evenly aligned at top
and bottom. The inside case trims must align, top and
bottom.
CAUTION
PRUDENCE
Les roues de nivellement arrière et les pattes de
nivellement avant permettent un réglage maximal
de 25 mm (1 po). Si l’ouverture pour le réfrigérateur
a une hauteur supérieure à 2,15 m (84-1/2 po),
l’installateur doit élever le réfrigérateur sur une
feuille de contre-plaqué ou des glissières. Il est
également possible d’ajouter des baguettes de
finition des placards sur le haut de l’ouverture afin
de la réduire. Lever le réfrigérateur de plus de 25
mm (1 po) endommage les pattes de nivellement
avant et les roues de nivellement arrière.
The rear leveling wheels and front leveling legs
are limited to a maximum height adjustment of 1".
If the installation requires more than 84-1/2" height,
the installer should elevate the refrigerator on a
sheet of plywood or runners. Cabinetry trim could
also be added across the top of the opening to
shorten the opening. If you attempt to raise the
refrigerator more than 1", you will damage
the front leveling legs and the rear leveling
wheels.
