Flush or
Semi-Flush
Enclosure
Installations
Advance Planning
True FlushInstallation
In a flush installation,
the refrigerator door
will align evenly with the front
face of adjacent cabinet doors.
The refrigerator blends into the
surrounding cabinetry.
Monogram built-in refrigerators and freezers can be
installed flush with typical 24-3/4"deep cabinetry.
When installed semi-flush, the case trim will conceal
slight gaps around the enclosure. The refrigerator will
project forward approximately 3/4" beyond the front
face of 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.
Side Panel Requirements:
• Side panels are not required whenever the
refrigerator or freezer is installed into an enclosure
or between pantry and oven cabinets.
• Side panels are required whenever the sides of the
product are exposed.
• Side panel sizes vary depending on the type of
installation being made.
Enclosure
Cutout and
Product
Dimensions
• To achieve a flush fit, the finished cutout width must be
at least 36" wide.
• In a semi-flush installation, the finished cutout must be
35-1/2".
• The electrical and water locations must be located
as shown for either type of installation.

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.

ZUGSSUnified Grille Panel Kit
Forside byside installation, order ZUGSSgrille panel
kit. This kit provides one continuous panel to span the
width of two products installed together for a unified
appearance.
Therefore, the rough-in dimensions must allow for
side panel thickness. In both a flush and semi-flush
installation, the finished dimension (the width of
the opening after side panels are installed) must
accommodate the full width of the product.
See page 10 for side panel sizes.
