Custom Side Panels - EF42/EF48
Custom side panels may be needed when not enough space is
available to have cabinets on both sides of the refrigerator or
when the refrigerator is placed at the end of a cabinet run. You
may choose an inset, flush or recessed inset panel installation for
models EF42 and EF48.
Refrigerator and Side Trim Dimensions
The width and height of a side panel are determined by the type
of installation you are planning.
NOTES
:
The dimensions shown are actual product dimensions and
may not reflect the needed installation dimensions.
The side panel should be a minimum of ½” (1.3 cm) thick to
avoid warping.
If the opening depth is 25” (63.5 cm) or more, you may want to
install a support board on the rear wall.
