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 cabinet door must be fitted cor-
rectly and not under tension.
Horizontal and vertical gaps
Depending on the style of kitchen cabi-
netry, the thickness and edge radius of
the custom door panel and the gap that
runs around the door, vertically and hor-
izontally, are specified.
It is essential to pay attention to the
following:
-
Horizontal gap
The gap between the door panel and
the housing-unit door above or below it
must be at least 1/8" (3 mm).
-
Vertical gap
If the gap between the refrigeration-
appliance door panel and the adjoin-
ing housing-unit door or wall on the
hinged side is too small, the appli-
ance door could collide with the ad-
joining housing-unit door or wall
when opened.
It may be necessary to adjust the
size of this gap to suit the thickness
and edge radius of the door panel.
This must be taken into consideration
when planning your kitchen and when
replacing an old refrigeration appliance
with a new one to ensure the installation
conditions required are met.
