SIdE-BY-SIdE INSTALLATION

The width dimension of a niche for side-by-side installations is de ned by adding the dimensions of the two single columns. Below illustrates
the dimensions of a classic 48-inch side-by-side, with a 18-inch freezer unit on the left and a 30-inch refrigerator on the right.
(18" freezer + 30" refrigerator)
IMPORTANT
It is strongly recommended the top panel boundary of the niche be of solid material (
completely flush for a depth of at least 4".
Make sure that the side walls of the niche are completely flush!
If, for some reason, a separate niche cabinet is created, make sure that the furniture return area is at least 4" deep.
There is a wide range of combination possibilities, which always end up in simple niche dimensions.
Some examples:
18" + 18" columns = 36" niche
24" + 18" columns = 42" niche
24" + 24" columns = 48" niche
30" + 18" columns = 48" niche
24" + 30" columns = 54" niche
30" + 30" columns = 60" niche
30" + 36" column/bottom freezer = 66" niche
36" + 36" bottom freezers = 72" niche
You just have to make sure that the sockets for the power supply and the water line are located at the correct positions. Take the needed
dimensions from the niche description of a split column installation (see page 224.)
