Gaggenau 538 Refrigerator User Manual


 
Gaggenau refrigeration appliances are designed to be
equipped with a decorative door panel. A panel can be
custom-made or purchased as a stainless steel accessory.
Below diagrams illustrate the dimensions of the stainless
steel panel accessories and can be used as a guide in
creating custom panels. At 79 ⅞" (2029 mm) tall, they are
designed for a toe kick height of 4" (102 mm), and a total
cutout height of 84" (2134 mm) yielding " (3 mm) reveals.
At ¾" (19 mm) deep, they are designed to attach to the 24"
(610 mm) deep appliance for an overall depth of 24 ¾" (629
mm). See page 176 for cutout planning.
When using custom panels, always ensure that the panel
reverse is nished to match the exterior, as parts of the
panel reverse will be visible when the refrigerator door
is opened.
Important!
While these diagrams can serve as a general guide
in planning panel dimensions, the correct panel
dimensions are dictated by design choices including
style and dimensions of surrounding kitchen cabinetry,
case and toe kick height, etc. Please ensure careful
planning based on the specic kitchen design.
