Custom Panel Series Side Panels

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 or Recessed Inset panel installation.
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" (1.27 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 rear wall.
