An enclosure is
required
to match up to the trim (see Typical Installation). To obtain
the most integrated look, the cabinet or soffit above the refrigerator should extend out
to the same depth as the side panels. The refrigerator opening must have minimum
dimensions of 70-1/4" high x 36-1/8" wide x 24-1/2" deep
for 23 cu. ft. models
and
72-1/4" high x 36-1/8" wide x 24-1/2"
for 25 cu. ft. models
,
as shown at right. If there is
an overhead cabinet, allow 1" for cabinet door clearance with the top trim piece so the
cabinet doors can be opened without hitting the top trim. If 1/2" side panels are used,
then side trim and panel will be even. If 3/4" side panels are used, then some of the side
panel will extend beyond the trim and must be finished.

*The rough-in dimensions of 70-1/4"/72-1/4" are minimum and measured from
the finished floor to top of opening (or the underside of the overhead cabinets).
For Models with Trim Kit: If frameless style cabinets are planned for above
the refrigerator, you may need to consider adding a maximum of 1/4" (70-1/2")
to height of opening for 23 cu. ft. models and 1/8" (72-3/8") for 25 cu. ft. models
to allow additional clearance between cabinet doors and top of refrigerator trim
when cabinet doors are in open position.
