Designing the Kitchen Cabinet Doors

You will need two doors for the kitchen cabinet, one on top for

the refrigerator compartment, and one on the bottom for the

freezer compartment. In general, the doors have these charac-

teristics:

• The width of the cabinet doors depends on the kitchen style

and the size of the gaps between the door panels of the

cabinetry. Generally, a 1/8” vertical gap between the cabinet

doors is recommended.

• The doors should be at least 5/8 in. (16 mm) thick to allow

the connecting rails to be fastened to them. The maximum

thickness of the door panel can be 3/4 in. (19mm).

• With both doors closed, there should be a minimum of 1/8

in. (3 mm) between the upper and lower doors (2). Also, there

should be a 1/8 in. (3 mm) clearance between the upper door

and the cabinet door (1) above it (if any).

• The top edge of the upper door (1) and lower door (2) should

be even with the doors of adjoining cabinet(s), if any.

• The position of the joint between the kitchen cabinet doors

must be level with the position of the joint between the appli-

ance doors (2).

• Adjust the door alignment before installing the appliance. It is

impossible to adjust the door with the appliance installed.

• Check the installation dimensions according to Section "Unit

Dimensions".

• Do not load the door with more than 35 lbs (16kg) of food.
