Built-In Installation
The cutout dimensions illustrated in
Figure A allows the door to swing open
and also allows access to the pull-out
shelves when installed as a built-in unit.
If you are installing the unit between
frameless cabinets, a ½" wide filler strip
or side panel may be needed on the hinge
side. The filler strip will act as a spacer
between the appliance case and the
adjacent cabinet door swing. The width of
the opening must include the filler panels.
Note: The door should protrude at least
1" beyond the surrounding cabinets.
