*The finished cutout width must be: 35-1/2" for 36" models

41-1/2" for 42" models

47-1/2" for 48" models

Water And Electrical Locations

The opening must be prepared with the electrical and water supply located as shown.

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. The water line should be 1/4" O.D. copper tubing or GE SmartConnectkit between the cold water line and water connection location, long enough to extend to the front of the refrigerator. Installation of an easily accessible shut off valve in the water line is required.

Allow minimum clearances for freezer door (Dimension A) and fresh food door (Dimension B) for a full 130° door swing and to allow 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 series 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.
