NICHE FOR 42-INCH REFRIGERATOR INSTALLATION, STANDARD
OVERLAY KITCHEN:
In this example, the installation cavity is done with a separate niche (surrounding
the refrigerator) although this niche cabinet is not needed. It even creates a look
that deviates from the general kitchen design.
The appliance front panel has a cumulative thickness of 1

panel. Due to this, a 25" deep installation cavity is required.
– if the niche is done with “furniture return” (not recommended), this has to be
at least 4" deep (on left, right and upper side) and from solid material. It has
to have equal depth on left and right side
– niche width is exactly 42" (for a 18" + 24" = 42" SxS combination)
– niche depth (cabinet depth) is 25" due to 1
