toekick

A custom toekick can be installed to match or
complement the surrounding cabinetry.

A standard toekick is supplied with all refrigerators.
If a custom toekick is to be installed, use the supplied
toekick as a template to cut out notches around hinges
and water line tubing.

For 1/2" to 3/4" thick custom toekicks, additional
material should be removed and cut away. This will
allow the water and electrical umbilical tube to rotate
smoothly when the door is fully opened.

The custom toekick should be installed in such a
manner that it can be removed if service is required.
