● Copper tubing should be long enough to
extend to the front of the refi-igerator. Allow
enough to accommodate bend leading into the

Install
Side
Panels
Decorator side panels are required wherever the
sides of the refi-igerator will be exposed.
Side panel installation will be determined by the
design of the side panel you have previously chosen.
Side panels are normally set into place and fastened
to adjacent cabinetry or the back wall before rolling
unit into opening.
If you choose to use 1/4” side panels, they should be
fhstened to the refrigerator before setting refrigerator into place. See Illustration A.
If you choose to use 1/2” to 3/4” side panels, see
Illustrations B and C.
If a custom refi-igerator enclosure has been made
and installed, or if you are installing between pantry
and oven cabinets, side panels are not required.
Check finished hole size as determined by previous
instructions.
To cover entire side of the refrigerator: Cut panels
84” high, 23-Y16 to 24-3/4” wide. Height and width
of the panels will vary depending on installation
method.
Make sure side panels are installed plumb.
See Custom Options Guide for more details.

If you are using custom panels secured to 1/4” thick
backing, the same panel sizes apply. However, the
raised portion of the panel requires trim, hinge and
fingertip clearances. Allow 5/16’ clearance on the
top and bottom for trim flange. Allow 1-1/4”
clearance on hinge side to avoid striking adjacent
cabinetry. Allow 2“ on handle side for fingertip
clearance.
Countertops adjacent to refrigerator installation
should be mitered 45° degrees.

A custom toekick can be installed to match or

A standard toekick is supplied with all refi-igerators.
If a custom toekick is to-be installed, use th~ supplied
toekick as a template to cut out notches around
hinges and water line tubing.
For 1/2” to 3/4” thick custom toekicks, additional
material should be removed and cut away. This will
allow the water and electrical umbilical tube to rotate

The custom toekick should be installed in such a
