Cabinet doors
An upper cabinet door for the refrigera-
tor section and a lower cabinet door for
the freezer section are required.
The cabinet doors must be at least
5/8“ (16 mm) / 3/4” (19 mm) thick.
If the cabinet doors are too
heavy, this can cause damage!
Fitted cabinet doors that exceed the
permissible weight can cause dam-
age to the hinges, which can affect
the functioning of the appliance.
Before fitting cabinet doors, ensure
that the weight of the door does not
exceed the maximum permitted.

Calculation of cabinet door size
The
width of the cabinet door
de-
pends on the style of the kitchen and
the gap between the unit door panels.
When calculating the
height of the
cabinet door
, remember that the top
edge of the door must be at the same
height as that of the doors of the adja-
cent units.
The following gaps are required:
– The horizontal gap between the cabi-
net door and the cupboard door
above it must be at least 1/8" (3 mm).
– The vertical gap between the cabinet
doors should be approx. 1/8" (3 mm).
The exact value will depend on the
radius of the edge of the cabinet
door.
The cabinet door must be fitted cor-
rectly and not under tension.
Tip:
Please also see the diagram and
information on the following pages on
calculating the cabinet door height.
