Definition of the Door Panel Heights
1. Start with the lower door of the freezer compartment:
The freezer door height is 24-24/32" (629 mm). In order to
cover the lower part of the appliance, increase the height of
the panel to 27-3/8" (695 mm).
2. To cover the face side of the floor board (a) add the thick-
ness of the floor board (usually 3/4" (19 mm)).
Thus, the minimum height of the freezer door panel is:
27-3/8" + 3/4" = 28-1/8"
(695 mm + 19 mm = 714 mm)
3. Without door panels on the unit, there is a gap of 19/32“
(15mm) between the hinge on the freezer door and the
hinge on the refrigerator door.
After the installation of the cabinet doors, the gap between
the two doors will only be around 1/8” (3mm).
4. If there is other furniture standing close to the refrigerator
cabinet (See also previous page) this furniture typically has
a gap between two drawers or two doors. Depending on
your kitchen, these gaps are approximately 1/8" (3 mm)
wide.
5. In this case, the maximum height of the freezer door panel is:
27-3/8" + 3/4" + 19/32" - 1/8" = 28-19/32"
(695 mm + 19 mm + 15 mm - 3 mm = 726 mm)
Where as the minimum height of the freezer door panel is:
27-3/8" + 3/4" = 28-1/8"
(695 mm + 19 mm = 714 mm)
Of course, the final door height depends on the gap position of
the cabinets that stand to the left and right of the refrigerator
cabinet.
6. The height of the refrigerator door panel is:
The total opening of the cabinet (i.e. 70-3/8" (1788 mm)) plus
the thickness of the top as well as the floor board (usually 3/4"
(19 mm)) minus the height of the freezer door panel (xxx" (xxx
mm)) and subtract the width of the gap (approximately 1/8" (3
mm)):
70-3/8" + 3/4" + 3/4" - xxx" - 1/8" = 71-3/4" - xxx"
(1788 mm + 19 mm + 19 mm - xxx mm - 3 mm = 1823mm –
xxx mm)
