The cutout depth must be 24″

The refrigerator will project forward, slightly beyond adjacent cabinets, depending on your installation.

CUSTOMIZATION BASICS:

Stainless Steel Wrapped Models

Stainless Steel Wrapped Refrigerators

Stainless Steel wrapped refrigerators have wrapped doors and grille panels, and beveled edges. These models are shipped ready for installation.

Trimmed Models

Trimmed Refrigerator Panels

Trimmed refrigerators are designed to be customized with decorative panels. Field installed custom door and grille panels are required. There are three custom panel options. You can install a 1/4″ framed panel, a 3/4″ framed custom panel or a 3/4″ full- width overlay custom panel.

1/4″ Framed Panels

You may install 1/4″ thick custom panels from your cabinet manufacturer. The decorative panel slides into the factory installed trim.

Door Handles On Trimmed Refrigerators

The handles can be used to accommodate both framed or custom panels.

NOTE: For 3/4″ custom panels, please refer to diagrams on page 23 for optimum handle clearance.

3/4″ Framed Custom Panels

3/4″ framed custom panels are secured to a 1/4″ finished backer panel. They are designed to slide into the factory installed trim, no kits required. The backer panel will be exposed on the handle side and therefore must be finished.

3/4″ Full-Width Overlay Custom Panels

3/4″ full-width overlay custom panels are designed to slide into the factory installed trim, no kits required. In this design, you can achieve a nearly trimless appearance. A spacer panel must be installed between the finished backer and appearance panel. The backer panel will be exposed on the handle side and therefore must be finished.
