NOTE: 1/2" thick side panels shown. Side panels
can be any thickness. Add side panel thickness to
outside trim width (36") to calculate the rough-in
dimension. The leading (front) edge must be
finished to match surrounding cabinetry.
Side panels, 1/2" minimum
thickness are required when
using frameless cabinets. The
side panel acts as a spacer
between the cabinet and the case
trim and prevents interference
with cabinet door swing. The
leading (front) edge must be
finished to match surrounding
cabinetry.

Side panels are required whenever the sides
of the refrigerator will be exposed.

the back wall before rolling the refrigerator
into the opening.

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 refrigerator.
