Installation
Examples Side panels are required whenever the sides of the
product will be exposed.
1/2" to 5/4" side panels are normally set into place
and fastened to adjacent cabinetry or back wall
before rolling the refrigerator or freezer into the
opening.
Therefore, the rough-in dimensions must allow
for side panel thickness. In a flush and semi-flush
installation, the finished dimension (width of the
opening after side panels are installed) must
accommodate the full width of the product.
See page 11 for side panel sizes.
