Fig. 7 Side-by-side installation:
The door must be able to be opened at least 90° to allow
the drawers to be pulled out properly. If the door opening
angle is 90° it may be difficult to remove the drawers due
to the door racks.
If the appliance will be installed in a corner please leave a
gap of at least 3-3/4 in. (95 mm) from the wall.
If thick front panels are used, the gap may have to be
greater. (see chapter on décor panels)

door panels.
The unit is not intended for freestanding use and has to
be installed inside a cabinet. This type of cabinet must be
carefully constructed using the proper dimensions and it
must provide proper ventilation to ensure proper
appliance operation.
