INTEGRATED REFRIGERATION
40
CABINETRY APPLICATIONS
Integrated refrigeration is compatible with virtu-
ally any style and look of cabinetry. The models
can be used with framed as well as frameless
cabinets. Because of the precise application and
the look you may want to achieve, there are
important questions you need to answer before
ordering panels for the doors/drawers. As you
look at styles of cabinets, keep some important
facts in mind:
IMPORTANT NOTE: The depth of each Inte-
grated model is 24" (610) from the front of the
unit to its back. You must allow for the thick-
ness of the panel you are applying when
planning for the finished rough opening depth if
you want the front panel to be flush with
surrounding cabinetry. You must move the unit
back into drywall or bring the cabinets forward
to achieve a flush fit.
The height of the door panel can grow beyond
45
3
/8" (1153) and exceed the 80" (2032) overall
height as long as you stay below the recom-
mended door panel weight limit.
The toe kick clearance can vary with the height
of the lower drawer panel; the maximum panel
height is 16
11
/16" (424). You must keep a
minimum space of 4" (102) clear below the
bottom edge of the lower drawer panel so the
unit can be properly vented.
We recommend using D-style handles. For the
cabinet door, handles must be located near the
edge of the panel opposite the hinge, centered
top to bottom. Locate handles in the top center
area of the drawer panels.
IMPORTANT NOTE: The inside edges of the
rough opening, as well as the sides and a
portion of the backside of the decorative panels
will need to be finished, as they will be exposed
when the doors are open.
FRAMED CABINETRY
Framed cabinetry applications present you with
different questions to address. The illustrations
below show common applications of framed
cabinetry. These are not meant to be the only
alternatives, but are suggestions from designers
around the country. Also refer to the full-scale
illustrations at the end of this section for
specifics on door openings.
NOTE: In the illustrations below, the first width
dimension shown is for 27" (686) wide units
and the second dimension is for 36" (914) wide
units.

not exceed 12 lbs
(5 kg) for 27" (686)
wide units. For 36"
(914) wide units, the
door panel weight
limit is 53 lbs (24 kg)
and 16 lbs (7 kg) for
