In a flush installation,  
the refrigerator doors  
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.  
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.  
Enclosure  
Cutout and  
Product  
• 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.

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 DADAPTATION  
(Fiches dadaptation 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 SmartConnectRefrigerator 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 SmartConnectRefrigerator 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  
into a bucket. Shut off water at the shut-off valve.  
NOTE: Saddle type shut-off valves are included in  
many water supply kits. Before purchasing, make sure  
a saddle type valve complies with local plumbing codes.

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 louverture pour le réfrigérateur  
a une hauteur supérieure à 2,15 m (84-1/2 po),  
linstallateur doit élever le réfrigérateur sur une  
feuille de contre-plaqué ou des glissières. Il est  
également possible dajouter des baguettes de  
finition des placards sur le haut de louverture 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.
