*The rough-in dimension of 70-1/4" is minimum and is measured from the
finished floor to top of opening (or the underside of the overhead cabinets).
For Models with Trim Kit: If frameless style cabinets are planned for above the
refrigerator, you may need to consider adding a maximum of 1/4" (70-1/2") to
height of opening to allow additional clearance between cabinet doors and
top of refrigerator trim when cabinet doors are in open position.

Installation Tips to Maximize the Built-In Look
•All wall/floor moulding should be removed prior to
installation.
•Water recess on rear wall recommended to
prevent water line damage. 48" minimum
length 1/4" diameter water line tubing
recommended.
•When possible, recess both water line and
electrical outlet. (See local codes)
•Front and rear leveling legs are adjustable for
the “Built-In” look. (See owner’s manual)
•If optional collar trim kit is to be used or
anticipated, see collar trim installation on next
page for different rough-in dimensions.

Collar Trim Installation
Collar Trim Installation
An enclosure is required to match up to the
trim, see Typical Installation. To obtain the most
integrated look, the cabinet or soffit above the
refrigerator should extend out to the same
depth as the side panels. The refrigerator
opening must have minimum dimensions of
70-1/4" high x 36-1/8" wide x 24-1/4"* deep as
shown at right. If there is an overhead cabinet,
allow 1" for cabinet door clearance with the top
trim piece so the cabinet doors can be opened
without hitting the top trim. If 1/2" side panels
are used, then side trim and panel will be even.
If 3/4" side panels are used, then some of the
side panel will extend beyond the trim and
must be finished.
