True Flush Installation
In a flush installation,
the refrigerator doors
will align evenly with the
front face of adjacent cabinet
doors. The refrigerator blends
into the surrounding cabinetry.
Monogram built-in refrigerators can be
installed flush with typical 24-3/4" deep
cabinetr y.
When installed semi-flush, the case trim will
conceal slight gaps around the enclosure. The
refrigerator will project forward approximately 3/4" beyond the front face of surrounding cabinetry.

Semi-Flush Installation
These refrigerators
can also be installed
semi-flush into an enclosure
using the minimum cutout
width. The case trim creates a
frame around the opening.
Side Panels Requirements:
• Side panels are not required whenever the
refrigerator is installed into an enclosure or
between pantry and oven cabinets.
• Side panels are required whenever the sides
of the refrigerator are exposed.
• Side panel sizes vary depending on the type
of installation being made.
To accomplish an attractive installation,
you must:
1. Determine the need for side panels.
2. Determine side panel thickness.
3. Order matching side panels from the
cabinet manufacturer. Be sure to provide
the exact dimensions.

width must be at least 36" wide.

Installation
Side panels are required whenever the sides
of the refrigerator will be exposed.
1/2" to 3/4" side panels are normally set into
place and fastened to adjacent cabinetry or to
the back wall before rolling the refrigerator
into the opening.

NOTE: 1/4" thick side panels can be inserted

Flush and Semi-Flush
Installations
Therefore, the rough-in dimensions must
allow for side panel thickness. In both a flush
and semi-flush installation, the finished
dimension, (the width of the opening after
side panels are installed), must accommodate
the full width of the refrigerator.
See page 9 for side panel sizes.

NOTE: 1/2" thick side panels shown. Side panels

finished to match surrounding cabinetr y.
Side panels, 1/2" minimum
thickness are required when
using frameless cabinets. The
side panel acts as a spacer
between the cabinet and the case
trim and prevents interference
with cabinet door swing. The
leading (front) edge must be
finished to match surrounding
cabinetr y.
