The cutout depth must be 24″

The refrigerator will project forward, slightly beyond adjacent cabinetry, depending on your installation.

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.

Additional Specifications

•A 115 volt 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.

Note: GFI (ground fault interrupter) is not recommended.

•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. Installation of an easily accessible shut-off valve in the water line is required.

Product Clearances

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.

Allow 25″ minimum clearance for a full 130° door swing. Allow 15″ for pan removal.

For a 90° door swing, allow 4″ min. clearance to a wall, for framed and stainless steel models. Allow 5″ min. clearance for professional style models. If the 90° door stop position is used, pan access is maintained, but pan removal is restricted.

See illustrations pages 4 and 5 to determine door swing interaction with adjacent cabinets or countertops.

•If you are installing two refrigerators, side by side, the installation space must be 71-1/2″wide.

Note: Additional cutout width may be required when side panels are used. Add side panel thickness to the finished cutout to calculate rough-in width.

•The water and electrical locations for each product must be located as shown.

•A separate 115V, 60Hz., 15 or 20 amp power supply is recommended for each product.
