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.

2. Determine side panel thickness.
3. Order matching side panels from the cabinet manufacturer. Be sure to provide the exact Sdimensions.
Advanced Planning
True Flush Installation
Semi-Flush Installation
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.
