Advance planning for built-in side-by-side refrigerators
Side-by-side refrigerators are available in 36", 42" and 48" widths. Design and installation considerations are the
same for all model widths.
The installation space
Space is the first consideration when planning the installation.
*The finished cutout width must be:
35-1/2" min. for 36"-wide models
41-1/2" min. for 42"-wide models
47-1/2" min. for 48"-wide models
The cutout depth must be 24"
The refrigerator will project forward, slightly beyond adjacent
cabinetry, depending on your installation.
The cutout depth beneath a soffit
When installed beneath a soffit, the soffit cannot exceed the
24" installation depth shown. The top case trim overlaps the
bottom of the soffit.
Electrical
A 115V, 60Hz., 15- or 20-amp power supply is required. An
individual properly grounded branch circuit or circuit breaker
is recommended. Install a properly grounded 3-prong
electrical receptacle recessed into the back wall. Electrical
must be located on rear wall as shown.
The serial plate is located in the lower right side of the fresh-
food compartment beneath the climate-control drawer.
Note: GFI (ground fault interrupter) is not recommended.
Water line
All models are equipped with an automatic icemaker. The
water line can enter the opening through the floor or back
wall. Route GE SmartConnect
™ kit or 1/4" O.D. copper tubing
between the cold water line and the water connection
location. The tubing should be long enough to extend to the
front of the refrigerator. The installation of an easily accessible
shut-off valve in the water line is required.
Order GE water filter replacement cartridge MWF. Fits all
Monogram built-in refrigerators.
Product dimensions
* Shipping height. The refrigerator can be adjusted to fit into a
cutout that is 83-1/2" min. to 84-1/2" max. height. The top case
trim at the front is 1/2" higher and will overlap upper cabinetry
or soffit. Use leveling legs and wheels for a maximum 1"
height adjustment.

Door swing clearances
The installation must allow for clearances to adjacent walls or
cabinets. These refrigerators are equipped with a 2-position
door stop. The factory-set 130° door swing can be adjusted to
90° if clearance to adjacent cabinets or walls is restricted. Order
WX14X99 door stop for precise settings between 90° and 130°.

adjacent cabinets or countertops.
