When installed semi-flush, the case trim will conceal

slight gaps around the enclosure. The refrigerator

will project forward approximatel U 3/4" beyond the

front face of surrounding cabinetry.

Semi-Flush Installation

These refrigerators

can also be installed

semi-flush into on enclosure

using the minimum cutout

width. The case trim creates o

frame around the opening.

Side Panel Requirements:

• Side panels are not required whenever the
refrigerator or freezer is installed into an enclosure

or between pantry and oven cabinets.

• Side panels are required whenever the sides of the
product are exposed.

• Side panel sizes varg depending on the type of
installation being made.

To accomplish an attractive installation, gou must:

1. Determine the need for side panels.

2. Determine side panel thickness.

S. Order matching side panels from the cabinet

ZUGSS Unified Grille Panel Kit

For side bg side installation, order ZUGSS grille panel
kit. This kit provides one continuous panel to span
the width of two products installed together for a
unified appearance.

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 product.
