36" Stainless Steel Refrigerators, Freezers

Flush or
Semi-Flush
Enclosure
Installations

 

 

True Flush Installation

In a flush installation,

the refrigerator door

   will align evenly with the

front face of adjacent cabinet

doors. The refrigerator blends

into the 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.

Monogram built-in refrigerators and freezers can be
installed flush with typical 24-3/4" deep cabinetry.

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.

Enclosure
Cutout and
Product
Dimensions

• To achieve a flush fit, the finished cutout width must

be at least 36" wide.

• In a semi-flush installation, the finished cutout must

be 35-1/2".

• The electrical and water locations must be located as

shown for either type of installation.

*36" for for a flush installation.

35-1/2" Min. for a semi-flush installation.

Note: 

Additional cutout width may be required when side panels

are used. Add side panel thickness to the finished cutout to
calculate rough-in width. See installation examples on
the following page.

Advance Planning

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 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 dimen-
sions.
