Toe-kick and venting grill
Important
Poor ventilation leads to damage to the appliance.
Under no circumstances is it permitted to cover
the air inlets and the exhaust air outlets of the
appliance in the lower base area.
You must observe the minimum distance of 4"
between the upper edge of the oor and the
bottom edge of the door panel of the appliance.
Pay attention to the height adjustment for the
appliance by leveling the legs.
In relation to the standard height, the maximum height of the toe-
kick is 4". The toe-kick can be maximum ¾" thick.
Velcro adhesive strips are supplied on the front panel of the
appliance to fasten the toe-kick to the appliance.
The venting grill and the exhaust air outlets of the appliance, as
well as the access to the water lter (if available) are located above
the toe-kick area. They must not be covered.

For design reasons, it may be necessary to increase the distance
between the upper edge of the oor and the bottom edge of the
door panel of the appliance, so that it extends beyond the standard
dimension of 4". The maximum dimension is 7 ⅛". The toe-kick
thickness must not exceed ¾". If this is the case, ventilation grill,
exhaust air outlets and the access to the water lter would become
visible.

Upper molding
The planning of decorative upper molding above the cutout
requires taking into account the actual or desired height of the
door panel.
The overall height of the door panel will depend on:
– the height of the appliance, typically 84" (2134 mm)—lev-
eling legs allow height adjustment ranging from -½" (-13
mm) to +1 ⅜" (+35 mm)
– the installed height of the door panel (distance from the
bottom edge of the door panel to the floor, typically 4"
(102 mm), and, if desired, any extension of the custom
panel above the appliance cutout)
– the appliance type (single door or bottom freezer)

Important
Please recall that a panel should be installed at a
minimum height of 4" (102 mm) from the oor to
allow proper ventilation of the appliance.
Always ensure that the top of the cutout or upper decorative
molding is at least 4" (102 mm) deep, so that the refrigerator
can be properly secured to the cutout wall. This is particularly
important if a protruding cutout is specially created and
congured with a face frame. Furniture returns for any face frame
must be a minimum of 4" (102 mm) deep.
