Location Requirements
These opening dimensions are specific to the installation of two
36" (91.4 cm) bottom-mount refrigerators side by side. The
refrigerators can be recessed into an opening between cabinets
or installed at the end of a cabinet run using a side panel to
enclose the refrigerators.

Explosion Hazard
Keep flammable materials and vapors, such as
gasoline, away from refrigerator.
Failure to do so can result in death, explosion, or fire.
IMPORTANT:
■ Observe all governing codes and ordinances.
■ Do not install the refrigerators near an oven, radiator, or
other heat source, nor in a location where the temperature
will fall below 55°F (13°C).
■ Floor must support the combined refrigerator weights,
more than 1,200 lbs (544 kg), door panels and contents of
the refrigerator.
■ Ceiling height must allow for side or front tipping radius.
See “Tipping Radius” in the Installation Instructions
provided with the refrigerators.
■ Location should permit doors to open fully. See “Door
Swing Dimensions” in the Installation Instructions
provided with the refrigerators.
■ Location must permit top grille removal. See “Opening
Dimensions” in the “Location Requirements” section of
the Installation Instructions provided with the
refrigerators.
■ A grounded 3 prong electrical outlet should be placed
within 4" (10.2 cm) of the right side of each refrigerator.
See “Electrical Requirements” in the Installation
Instructions provided with the refrigerators.
■ The water shutoff should be located in the base cabinets
on either side of the refrigerators or some other easily
accessible area. If the water shutoff valve is not in the
cabinets, the plumbing for the water line can come
through the floor or the back wall. See “Water Supply
Requirements” in the Installation Instructions provided
with the refrigerators.

CREATE CUSTOM PANEL
Custom Panel for a One-piece
Accessory Grille
NOTE: If you want to use the acrylic panel and filler provided,
skip this section.
To create a custom panel for a one-piece accessory grille, follow
these steps:
1. Match panel wood grain direction with that of adjacent
cabinets.
2. Cut the custom panel according to the dimensions shown.
NOTE: A ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) thickness can be used for wood
panels. If you wish to use thicker material, the edges must be
routed to ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm).
To create custom panels for an overlay accessory grille, follow
these steps:
1. Cut and assemble the overlay and backer panels to the
dimensions shown.
NOTE: A ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm) backer panel is shown as a dotted
line.

3. Use a moisture-resistant sealer on the sides and edges of the
panels to protect them from humidity.
4. See “Assemble Accessory Grille.”
Custom Panel for Overlay Accessory Grille
It is common to work with three panels: a decorative overlay
panel, a ¹⁄₈" (3.18 mm) spacer panel or spacer strips, and a ¹⁄₄"
(6.35 mm) backer panel. In some cases, your cabinet
manufacturer may choose to work with one panel routed for the
different dimensions. Follow these panel dimensions and
placement instructions to ensure that the custom overlay panel
fits properly.
NOTE: Panel weight should not exceed 20 lbs (9 kg). To minimize
panel weight, you may use 2" (5.08 mm) spacer strips around the
perimeter instead of full-sheet solid spacer panels. The spacer
strips must be set in at least 1" (2.54 cm) from the edge of the
backer panel.
