Kitchen Cabinet Construction

This is a fully integrated refrigerator-freezer which means that it is This type of cabinet must be carefully constructed using the proper dimensions

ventilation

Kitchen Cabinet Airflow

1. The following ventilation dimensions must be observed:

fully enclosed

by a kitchen cabinet.

and it must provide proper

to ensure proper appliance operation.

 There must be a ventilation space at least

31 in.

 There must be a clear ventilation space

(200 cm2) at the airflow inlet (Fig. 4, 1)

and

at the airflow outlet (Fig. 4, 2).

(without any obstructions)

of at least 1-1/2 in. (38 mm) at the back of the kitchen cabinet (Figure 5).

 The top ventilation space can be either

directly over the appliance (Fig. 4, 2) or next to the ceiling over a cabinet (Fig. 4, 3), or through a vent installed in a soffit (Fig. 4, 4).

INSTALLATION

2. Ventilation through the cabinet base at the bottom can be achieved by installing the provided ventilation grille (Fig. 6, 3) or via a

ventilation opening of at least 31 in.

When using the provided ventilation grille

(200 cm2).

(Fig. 6, 3), please proceed as follows:

 In the cabinet base, cut out a ventilation

opening that is 17-23/32 in. (450 mm) in width and 2-7/32 in. (56 mm) in height (Figure 6).

 Insert ventilation (Fig. 6, 3) grille into the

cabinet base cut-out (Fig. 6, 1).

 From the back side, slide the snap-fits

(Fig. 6, 2) into the grille until the hooks make contact with the cabinet base.

 Completely mount cabinet base (with

ventilation grille and snap-fits) to kitchen cabinet.

Construction of Kitchen Cabinet

- Figure 7

Construct the kitchen cabinet using the dimensions shown in Figure 7.

1. Align the kitchen cabinet with a level (Fig. 7, 2) and a square. If necessary, shim underneath the cabinet to make it level. The floor and side walls must be at right angles to each other.

2. Install the refrigerator-freezer in stable kitchen cabinets only.

3. The joint between the upper and the lower kitchen cabinet door must align with the joint between the upper and lower refrigerator-freezer door.

If you use a pre-designed kitchen cabinet, you

may need to shim the refrigerator-freezer so the doors are properly aligned.

Follow the dimensions provided in Figure 7 to

determine if any shims (Fig. 7, 4) are required. Also make sure you adjust the height of the kitchen cabinet (Fig. 7, Dimension “D”) if you need to add any shims.

4. Use a fish line (Fig. 7, 1) to pull the plug up to reach the outlet (Fig. 7, 3).
