Cabinet fronts

Dimensions

Depending on your model, you will need one or two cabinet doors. The size of the cabinet door(s) depends on the overall recess size and cabinet unit thickness.

Note
Observe the corresponding appliance and niche dimensions and installation sketches .

General requirements:
– Please note our appliance-specific recommendations on size and weight for fixed door installation (see Custom panel weights) .
– The body of the unit should be at least 16 mm thick but not more than 19 mm.
– When mounting a 2-door cabinet door, observe the recommended clearances.

Fig. 68 Clearances for a 2-door cabinet door*

Other cabinet door above, below or next to it:
– The vertical gap between custom panels must be 4 mm.
– The horizontal gap between custom panels must be 4 mm. Check the risk of them clashing here. (see Setting the clearance to avoid collision)

Weight and hinges:
– With heavy furniture fronts, the stress on the hinge is very high. The hinge may be damaged. Please note the maximum weight specification for your appliance in the chapter Furniture front weights (see 6 Custom panel weights) .
– If the cabinet front exceeds the maximum permitted weight, an appliance with door-tracking device can help by loading the weight over several concealed hinges on the cabinet.
– If you use long unit fronts that protrude far above the appliances, we recommend an additional door hinge (e.g. Kamat), which must have the same pivot point as the fixed door hinge used with your appliance. By using another hinge (Kamat), the weight is shared over several points. The use of a milled compensating fastening is recommended for high unit fronts to counteract warping (convex/concave).

Mounting the cabinet front(s)

When installing, note:
– Cabinet front must be installed symmetrically to the refrigerator door.
– Adjoining cabinet front is exactly level.
– Adjoining cabinet front has the same edge radius as the front of the appliance.
– Cabinet front is flat and tension-free.
– The front panel has a minimum depth setting of approx. 2 mm to the body.
▶ Install the appliance in the recess. (see Installing the appliance in the recess)
▶ Fasten the front panel to the appliance door. (see Installing the appliance in the recess)
▶ Check that the front panel can close unobstructed. (see Setting the clearance to avoid collision)

Setting the clearance to avoid collision

After installing the cabinet front(s), check that the cabinet fronts do not collide.

(1) Front thickness (FD)
(2) Edge radius (R)
(3) Clearance (S)

Note
When making adjustments, always make sure that the cabinet front suits the general appearance.

Check the collision factors and adjust them accordingly:
▶ Determine the front thickness and edge radius.
▶ Refer to the table for the min./max. clearance dimensions.
▶ Check the clearance size against the table.
