Kitchen Design – Basic Terms Kitchen design — basic terms. To clarify the terms which are used in this quick reference, please refer to the following definitions: To clarify the terms which are used in this planning guide, please refer to the following definitions: Case This is the main body of a kitchen cabinet. Case Frame Face Face Frame (Cabinet) This main body of a at kitchen cabinet. This is is the a decorative frame the front of a kitchen cabinet and is typical for North America.

Cabinetry style and cut-out depth. As previously described, the required depth of the installation cavity is mainly dependent on the kitchen design. Gaggenau refrigerator and freezer columns are designed for a cutout depth of 24" (610 mm). So, if the kitchen cabinet (case + face frame) is 24" deep, this should accommodate many standard installations.

Additional planning notes Read all instructions in the installation manual completely and carefully prior to installation. Installation manuals are supplied with the appliance and are also available at www.gaggenau-usa.com. Refrigeration appliances are top heavy and must be secure to prevent the possibility of tipping forward. Anti-tip protection is required. Keep doors closed until the appliance is completely installed and secured per installation instructions.

Dimensions for the installation cavity. Installation cutout for a side-by-side solution: Important! The walls and the top panel of the installation cutout must be made of a solid material with a thickness of at least ⅝", to guarantee the secure installation of the appliance. Make sure that the upper boundary is completely flush for a depth of at least 4". The side walls of the installation cutout must be completely even and flat along their entire depth.

Toe-kick area/upper molding of cutout (niche). Toe-kick and venting grill Upper molding Important Poor ventilation leads to damage to the appliance. Under no circumstances is it permitted to cover the air inlets and the exhaust air outlets of the appliance in the lower base area. You must observe the minimum distance of 4" between the upper edge of the floor and the bottom edge of the door panel of the appliance. Pay attention to the height adjustment for the appliance by leveling the legs.
