True Flush Installation

In a flush installation, the refrigerator door

will align evenly with the front face of adjacent cabinet doors. The refrigerator blends into the surrounding cabinetry.

Monogram built-in refrigerators and freezers can be installed flush with typical 24-3/4

″ deep cabinetry.

When installed semi-flush, the case trim will conceal slight gaps around the enclosure. The refrigerator will project forward approximately 3/4

″ beyond the front face of surrounding cabinetry.

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 or freezer is installed into an enclosure or between pantry and oven cabinets.

• Side panels are required whenever the sides of the product 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.

• To achieve a flush fit, the finished cutout width must be at least 36

″ wide.

• In a semi-flush installation, the finished cutout must be 35-1/2

″.

• The electrical and water locations must be located as shown for either type of installation.

″ or 84-1/2″ heights can be made by changing the grille panel.

Order ZGCSS36RH (right hand) or ZGCSS36LH

(left hand) Grille Panel Kit. These kits include 2 grille panels, for 83-1/2

″ and 84-1/2″ installation heights.

ZUGSS Unified Grille Panel Kit

For side by side installation, order ZUGSS grille panel kit. This kit provides one continuous panel to span the width of two products installed together for a unified appearance.

Side panels are required whenever the sides of the product will be exposed.

1/2

″ to 3/4″ side panels are normally set into place and fastened to adjacent cabinetry or to the back wall before rolling the refrigerator or freezer into the opening.

Therefore, the rough-in dimensions must allow for side panel thickness. In both a flush and semi-flush installation, the finished dimension (the width of the opening after side panels are installed) must accommodate the full width of the product.

See page 10 for side panel sizes.

Grounding the

Refrigerator

Installation Preparation

36

Stainless Steel Refrigerators, Freezers

IMPORTANT – (Please read carefully)

FOR PERSONAL SAFETY, THIS APPLIANCE MUST BE

PROPERLY GROUNDED.

The power cord of this appliance is equipped with a

3-prong (grounding) plug that mates with a standard three-prong (grounding) wall receptacle to minimize the possibility of electric shock hazard from this appliance.

Have the wall outlet and circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

Where a standard 2-prong wall outlet is encountered, it is your personal responsibility and obligation to have it replaced with a properly grounded 3-prong wall outlet.

IMPORTANT:

We recommend two separate 115V, 60Hz, 20 amp properly grounded electrical outlets for a side-by-side installation of two products. Each electrical outlet should have a voltage rating that matches the rating plate.

Use of Adapter plug

Because of potential hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against use of an adapter plug. However, if you still elect to use an adapter, where local codes permit, a TEMPORARY

CONNECTION may be made to a properly grounded

2-prong wall outlet by use of a UL listed adapter available at most hardware stores.

The larger slot in the adapter must be aligned with the larger slot in the wall outlet to provide proper polarity in the connection of the power cord.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, CUT OR

REMOVE THE THIRD (GROUND) PRONG FROM THE

POWER CORD.

When disconnecting the power cord from the adapter, always hold the adapter in place with one hand and pull the power cord with the other hand. If this is not done, the adapter ground terminal is very likely to break with repeated use.

Should the adapter ground terminal break, DO NOT

USE the appliance until a proper ground has again been established.

Use of Extension Cords

Because of potential safety hazards under certain conditions, we strongly recommend against the use of an extension cord. However, if you still elect to use an extension cord, it is absolutely necessary that it be a UL listed, 3-wire grounding type appliance extension cord having a grounding type plug and outlet, and that the electrical rating of the cord be

15 amperes (minimum) and 120 volts.

PRUDENCE

FICHE D’ADAPTATION

(Fiches d’adaptation non permises au Canada)

CAUTION

Attaching the adapter ground terminal to a wall outlet cover screw does not ground the appliance unless the cover screw is metal, and not insulated, and the wall outlet is grounded through the house wiring. You should have the circuit checked by a qualified electrician to make sure the outlet is properly grounded.

These products have a 4-point leveling system.

The front is supported by leveling legs, the rear is supported by wheels.

• Adjust rear wheels beneath the product to just barely touch the 2x4 block.

• Turn the 7/16

″ hex nut located above the front wheels. Turn to raise or lower.

• For front leveling legs, use a 1-1/4

″ open-end wrench.

• Adjust carefully; the product should be level and plumb with cabinetry, and should align with toekick height.

Hex Nut Adjusts

Rear Wheels

Leveling Leg

CAUTION

The rear leveling wheels and front leveling legs are limited to a maximum height adjustment of 1

″. If the installation requires more than 84-1/2

″ height, the installer should elevate the refrigerator on a sheet of plywood or runners. Cabinetry trim could also be added across the top of the opening to shorten the opening. If you attempt to raise the

refrigerator more than 1

, you will damage the

front leveling legs and rear leveling wheels.

PRUDENCE

Les roues de nivellement arrière et les pattes de nivellement avant permettent un réglage maximal de 25 mm (1 po). Si l’ouverture pour le réfrigérateur a une hauteur supérieure à 2,15 m (84-1/2 po), l’installateur doit élever le réfrigérateur sur une feuille de contre-plaqué ou des glissières. Il est

également possible d’ajouter des baguettes de finition des placards sur le haut de l’ouverture afin de la réduire. Lever le réfrigérateur de plus de 25

mm (1 po) endommage les pattes de nivellement avant et les roues de nivellement arrière.

NOTE: Whenever possible, perform this step for additional anti-tip security. This step can be used as an alternate to Step 4, Anti-Tip bracket installation, whenever brackets cannot be used.

PRECAUTIONS CONTRE LES BASCULEMENTS

Le réfrigérateur est beaucoup plus lourd en haut et il faut le maintenir en place pour éviter la possibilité de son basculement vers l’avant.

• Cut a 2

″x4″ block, 71″ long. Secure the 2″x4″ to the

4 mounting brackets provided using #12 or #14 wood screws.

• Secure the brackets with wood block to the back wall so that it is 84

″ (or your installation height) from the finished floor. Use #12 or #14 wood screws. See illustration.

• Screws must penetrate at least one inch into vertical wall studs.

Roll Both Products into Opening

• Gently push each product into opening with hands against front corners. Push back into the opening until it is flush or semi-flush with adjacent cabinets.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When the products are installed under a soffit or if there is not enough height for this method of security, use Step 4 as an alternative. The refrigerator and

freezer must be secured to prevent tipping.

Both products MUST BE LEVEL AND PLUMB with each

other and adjacent cabinetry on each side. Toekick heights should align with cabinetry.

• Adjust carefully. Both models have 4-point leveling.

The front is supported by leveling legs, the rear is supported by wheels.

• Raise units to the same level, aligning with adjacent toekick heights.

• Adjust rear wheels beneath the product to just barely touch the 2x4 block.

• Turn the 7/16

″ hex nut located above the front wheels to raise or lower the back of the refrigerator.

• To adjust the front leveling legs: Use a 1/4

″ angled wrench to turn the top of the leveling leg, or turn the bottom of the legs with a 1-1/4

″ wrench.

Hex Nut Adjusts

Rear Wheels

Leveling Leg

Units must be 1

apart and evenly aligned at top

and bottom. The inside case trims must align, top and bottom.

CAUTION

The rear leveling wheels and front leveling legs are limited to a maximum height adjustment of

1

″. If the installation requires more than 84-1/2″ height, the installer should elevate the refrigerator on a sheet of plywood or runners.

Cabinetry trim could also be added across the top of the opening to shorten the opening. If you

attempt to raise the refrigerator more than 1

,

you will damage the front leveling legs and rear leveling wheels.

PRUDENCE

Les roues de nivellement arrière et les pattes de nivellement avant permettent un réglage maximal de 25 mm (1 po). Si l’ouverture pour le réfrigérateur a une hauteur supérieure à 2,15 m (84-1/2 po), l’installateur doit élever le réfrigérateur sur une feuille de contre-plaqué ou des glissières. Il est

également possible d’ajouter des baguettes de finition des placards sur le haut de l’ouverture afin de la réduire. Lever le réfrigérateur de plus de 25

mm (1 po) endommage les pattes de nivellement avant et les roues de nivellement arrière.
