Cabinet Opening Dimensions
Allow units to open a minimum of 90° to prevent
problems removing drawers. With the door opening
90°, you may have to move drawers slightly to clear
the door interior.
Allow for a minimum 2" (51 mm) filler, for corner
installations, so the door can open to 90°. If you’re
using raised panels, consider using a wider filler.
IMPORTANT
Refer to the minimum door clearances and illustra
tions at the end of this section for specifics on door
openings and filler size alternatives.
NOTE:
The given cabinet opening height dimension includes top air vent. If you choose to place the vent
above the cabinet or in a soffit, you will need to
adjust the height dimension accordingly.
