PRODUCT CLEARANCES

adjacent cabinet, wall or other appliances. Allow 23-1⁄8
min. clearance from the front for drawer opening.
NOTE: Custom handle clearances may vary depending on
the standoff of the custom handles.
• Test the drawer openings. Carefully open and close
the drawers. The drawers should not rub or catch on
adjacent cabinetry. Notify the installer if the drawers
make contact with cabinetry. NOTE: When installing
custom panels and handles, use above clearances as
a general guide but adjust according to the installation.
Choose the location:

three sides as long as the front is unobstructed for
air circulation and proper access to the drawers.

go below 55°F (13°C) or above 90°F (32°C).
• These products are not designed to be stacked one over
the other.
