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.

Inset Installation Dimensions

1.Measure the distance from point A (as shown) to the back wall. Add ⁷⁄₃₂" (5.6 mm) to this measurement to allow the side panel to fit into the trim.

2.If the panel is more than ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) thick, route the front edge to allow the side panel to fit into the trim.

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 panel installation dimensions.

The side panel should be a minimum of ½" (1.27 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 rear wall.
