Monogram built-in refrigerators and freezers can
be installed flush with typical 24-3/4-in. deep
cabinetry.
When installed semi-flush, the case trim will
conceal slight gaps around the enclosure. The
refrigerator or freezer will project forward
approximately 3/4-in. 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 in GE
Publication # 49-60055, Installation Instructions,
page 6.
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.
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.
