Side Panel Requirements:
• Side panels are not required whenever the
refrigerator is installed into an enclosure or
between pantry and oven cabinets.
• Side panels are required whenever the sides of the
refrigerator 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.
True Flush Installation
In a flush installation,
the refrigerator doors
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 24-3/4deep cabinetry.
When installed semi-flush, the case trim will conceal
slight gaps around the enclosure. The refrigerator or
freezer will project forward approximately 3/4
beyond the front face of surrounding cabinetry.
In any installation situation, a wide range of
appearance options can be accomplished through
the use of one or more trim kits. See trim kit
descriptions and appearance options on page 6.
