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.

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.

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.

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.
