Installation Requirements
Custom Side Panels
Custom side panels may be needed when not enough space is available to have cabinets on both sides of the refrigerator or when the refrigerator is placed at the end of a cabinet run. You may choose an inset, flush or recessed inset panel installation.
Refrigerator and Side Trim Dimensions
The width and height of a side panel are determined by the type of installation you are planning.
NOTES:
The dimensions shown are actual product dimensions and may not reflect the needed installation dimensions.
The side panel should be a minimum of ½” (1.3 cm) thick to avoid warping.
If the opening depth is 25” (63.5 cm) or more, you may want to install a support board on the rear wall.
