For a complete food storage center, install a Monogram Freezer and Refrigerator side by side. For even more capacity, install two refrigerators and one or two freezers.

Order ZUGSS Unified Grille Panel Kit for one continuous stainless steel grille panel.

Electrical and water locations must be located as shown for either type of installation. A separate 115V, 60Hz, 20 amp power supply is recommended for each product.

*72" min. for a flush installation

71-1/2" min. for a semi-flush installation

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. See installation examples below.

GE ZIRS36N RH, ZIFS36N RH, ZIFS36N LH Side By Side Installation Freezer Refrigerator, Accessory Grille Panel Kits, Examples

ZIRS36N LH, ZIFS36N LH, ZIFS36N RH, ZIRS36N RH specifications

The GE ZIRS36N RH, ZIFS36N RH, ZIFS36N LH, and ZIRS36N LH are part of General Electric's innovative line of side-by-side refrigerators, designed to meet the needs of modern households while providing exceptional performance and convenience. These models are characterized by a sleek and stylish exterior, making them an attractive addition to any kitchen.

One of the standout features of these refrigerators is their advanced cooling technology. They incorporate a multi-air flow system that ensures even distribution of cold air throughout the refrigerator and freezer compartments. This technology helps maintain optimal temperature levels, keeping food fresher for longer, while also minimizing temperature fluctuations that can lead to spoilage.

These models are equipped with energy-efficient LED lighting that illuminates the interior, making it easy to find items even in low light conditions. The LED lights consume less energy compared to traditional incandescent bulbs, contributing to lower electricity bills and a more sustainable operation.

The GE ZIRS36N and ZIFS36N series also feature adjustable shelving, allowing users to customize the interior layout to accommodate various food items and containers. This flexibility is essential for maximizing storage space and ensuring that everything fits perfectly. Additionally, spill-proof shelves are included, which are designed to contain spills for easy cleanup and to prevent messes from spreading to other compartments.

For added convenience, these refrigerators are designed with a fresh food compartment that includes humidity-controlled crispers. These crispers help maintain the freshness of fruits and vegetables by regulating humidity levels, which is vital for preserving their quality.

Security and access are also a priority, as these models come with external water and ice dispensers. This feature provides instant access to cold water and ice without having to open the refrigerator door, promoting energy efficiency and convenience in daily routines.

In terms of design, the GE ZIRS36N RH, ZIFS36N RH, ZIFS36N LH, and ZIRS36N LH models are finished in high-quality stainless steel, giving them a modern and professional look that enhances any kitchen décor. Their reversible doors offer flexibility for kitchen layouts, allowing the user to configure the fridge to suit their space.

Overall, the GE ZIRS36N RH, ZIFS36N RH, ZIFS36N LH, and ZIRS36N LH refrigerators combine modern technology, user-friendly features, and a stylish design, making them ideal choices for families seeking functionality and efficiency in their kitchen appliances.
