Decorator side panels are required wherever the
sides of the refi-igerator will be exposed.
Side panel installation will be determined by the
design of the side panel you have previously chosen.
Side panels are normally set into place and fastened
to adjacent cabinetry or the back wall before rolling
unit into opening.
If you choose to use 1/4” side panels, they should be
fhstened to the refrigerator before setting refrigera-
tor into place. See Illustration A.
If you choose to use 1/2” to 3/4” side panels, see
Illustrations B and C.
1/4 Side Panels – Insert end of side panel
into case trim. Fasten with velcro strips
included.
Illustration C

edge of side panel. Fasten to adjacent
cabinet.
If a custom refi-igerator enclosure has been made
and installed, or if you are installing between pantry
and oven cabinets, side panels are not required.
Check finished hole size as determined by previous
instructions.
To cover entire side of the refrigerator: Cut panels
84” high, 23-Y16 to 24-3/4” wide. Height and width
of the panels will vary depending on installation
method.
Make sure side panels are installed plumb.
See Custom Options Guide for more details.

If you are using custom panels secured to 1/4” thick
backing, the same panel sizes apply. However, the
raised portion of the panel requires trim, hinge and
fingertip clearances. Allow 5/16’ clearance on the
top and bottom for trim flange. Allow 1-1/4”
clearance on hinge side to avoid striking adjacent
cabinetry. Allow 2“ on handle side for fingertip
clearance.
Countertops adjacent to refrigerator installation

Problem
Solving
Alignment of Doors
Door alignment is usually
assured when the
unit is
leveled. If doors are not
aligned after leveling the
unit, contact GE Service.
Moisture
If moisture forms
between the doors or on
the cabinet, turn on the
energy saver switch. This
should only occur when
humidity is high. If the
problem persists, contact
GE Service.
Operation of Unit
If the
refrigerator does
not operate after
checking the installation
instructions, check the
electrical connections
inside the cooling
compartment, check the
power cord plug in the
wall outlet and the
power supply to the
outlet. If all connections
and fuse or circuit
breaker are in order,
contact GE service.
