Electrical Connection, Extension Cord | Fagor America FSV-144US

The cutout dimension illustrated allows for a normal door opening clearance and access to the racks when installed as a built-in appliance. If installing between frameless cabinets, a ½” wide filler strip or side panel may be needed on the side with the hinge. This strip will act as a spacer between the appliance case and adjacent cabinet door. The width of the opening must include the filter panels.

Note: The door should protrude at least 1” beyond the surrounding cabinets. The clearance is: 2”.
