Design Information
Designed to be installed flush with surrounding cabinetry.
Cutout dimensions, clearances and side panel sizes are
determined by the many installation options available.
Side panels must be used whenever the sides of the
refrigerator will be exposed. If custom enclosure has
been made and installed, or if you are installing between
pantry and oven cabinets, side panels are not required
unless you are using frameless cabinets. IMPORTANT–
Side panels, 1/2" min. thick, are required for FRAMELESS
CABINETS.
• Field installed custom panels, Lexan
or stainless steel
panels are required. Custom door panels and grille
panel sizes vary to accommodate the kit being used.
• A custom toekick can be installed to match or complement the surrounding cabinetry. A standard toekick is
supplied. For a custom toekick, use supplied toekick as
a template to cut notches for hinges and water lines.
Optional Kits:
• ZWBP36: Black Lexan Panel Kit (no trim kit required).
• ZWWP36: White Lexan
Panel Kit (no trim kit required).
• ZWSP36: Stainless Steel Panel Kit (no trim kit required).

• A 115 volt 60 Hz., 15 or 20 amp power supply is required.
An individual properly grounded branch circuit or
circuit breaker is recommended. Install a properly
grounded 3-prong electrical receptacle recessed into
the back wall. Electrical must be located on rear wall.
• Water line can enter opening through the floor or back
wall. The water line should be 1/4" O.D. copper tubing
between the cold water line and water connection
location, long enough to extend to the front of the
refrigerator. Installation of an easily accessible shut off
valve in the water line is recommended.
Clearances
If the refrigerator is to be installed in a corner:
• A 2" min. clearance between the case trim and
adjacent wall on both sides of the refrigerator will
assure a 90° door opening and access to all drawers.
An 8" clearance is required on both sides for removal
of pans.
*The finished and rough-in dimensions are determined by the type
of installation being made. The finished cutout width includes side
panel thicknesses. See “Side Panel or Filler Options.”
