Dispenser Specifications 28
Dispenser Area. For Models BI-42SD and BI-48SD,
the refrigerator door panel must include a cut-out to
accommodate the dispenser glasswell and bezel. The
thickness of the panel in this area can range from
1
/4"(6)
to a maximum of 1
1
/8" (29).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Regardless of the thickness of the
panel for Model BI-42SD or BI-48SD, you must plan for a
flat landing area for the decorative bezel surrounding the
glasswell area. The illustration to the right provides exact
bezel dimensions. Refer to the appropriate panel specifi-
cations page for exact cut-out location. This landing area
can be accomplished in a number of different ways.
These photos show two options.
One option (flush) is to rout the panel so the bezel will be
flush with rails and stiles. You must rout a space to
accommodate the height and width of the bezel. The
width of the stile immediately adjacent to the bezel must
be 1
7
/16" (37). Do not cut the entire stile to this dimen-
sion.
The other option (proud) shows a boxed out landing area
for the bezel using stiles and rails to create this space. In
this application, the bezel will sit proud of the stiles and
rails. The total thickness of the panels at this level must
not exceed 1
1
/8" (29).
For overlay and flush inset Models BI-42SD and BI-48SD,
mounting placement of the refrigerator door handle must
assure proper access to the glasswell and adequate
clearance under the handle. The handle placement illus-
tration shows the relation of the refrigerator door handle
to the glasswell bezel on stainless steel models.
