6 Cabinet door

Two doors are required for the kitchen cabinet: a top

­one for the fridge section and a bottom one for the
freezer section.
The doors must be at least 5/8 in. (16 mm) and no more

­than 3/4 in. (19 mm) thick.
When the two doors are closed the gap between the

­top and bottom door must be at least 1/8 in. (3 mm).
The gap between the cabinet doors must be the same

­as the gap between the appliance doors.
There must be a gap of at least 1/8 in. (3 mm) between

­the door and the cupboard door above it (if there is
one).

4 * Depending on model and options

Cabinet door

The width of the cabinet doors depends upon the style

­of the kitchen and the size of the gap between the door
panels of the cupboard. Normally a vertical gap of
1/8 in. (3 mm) should be left between the cabinet
doors.

The upper edges of the top door and the bottom door

­should be the same as the on the cupboard(s) next to it
if there are any other cupboards.
The unit doors must be assembled flat and free from

­tension.

Fig. 4

The height of the freezer door is 24-24/32 in. (663 mm).

In order to cover the bottom section of the appliance:

u

extend the plate height to 26-3/8 in. (669 mm).

The thickness of the floor plate is normally 3/4 in.
(19 mm).

In order to cover the front of the floor plate

u

extend the plate height to 26-3/8 in. + 3/4 in. =
27-1/8 in. ( 669 mm + 19 mm = 688 mm ).

* Depending on model and options 5

Air circulation in the kitchen cabinet

If there are other cabinets next to the fitted appliance
cabinet they normally have a gap between two drawers or
doors. Depending on the design of your kitchen these
gaps are about 1/8 in. (3 mm) wide.

In this case increase the plate height to 26-3/8 in. +

u

3/4 in. + 2-5/8 in. - 1/8 in. = 29-5/8 in. ( 669 mm +
19 mm + 67 mm - 3 mm = 752 mm ).

The height of the refrigerator door leaf is calculated as
follows:

Total height of the cupboard (i.e. 70-3/8 in. (1788 mm))

u

plus thickness of the cover and floor plate (normally
3/4 in. (19 mm)) minus the height of the freezer cabinet
door leaf (xxx in. (xxx mm)) as calculated above and
minus the gap width (approximately 1/8 in. (3 mm)):
70-3/8 in. + 3/4 in. + 3/4 in. - xxx in. - 1/8 in. = 71-3/4 in.

- xxx in. ( 1788 mm + 19 mm + 19 mm - xxx mm - 3 mm
= 1823 mm - xxx mm )

7 Air circulation in the kitchen cabinet

Fig. 5

There must be an effective ventilation gap of at least

­31 in2 (200 cm2) per appliance for the air inlet
and the air outlet
Basically, the bigger the ventilation gap, the more

­energy-saving the operation of the appliance.
The depth of the ventilation shaft on the back wall of

­the cabinet must be at least 1-1/2 in. (40 mm).

The top ventilation gap can be set up either directly

­above the appliance with an optional ventilation grid
