The custom door panels and adjacent cabinetry for models 

series IF42 and IF48 must be designed so that there is sufficient 

clearance for the doors to swing open. If the refrigerator is to be 

installed close to the wall, see

Stop Position

When the doors are closed the refrigerator will extend beyond the face of the adjacent 

cabinetry to some degree.

NOTE

: For IF Series models, 

rout the hinge side of the 

custom door panels to a radius 

that is equal to at least half the 

thickness of the panel if a 130° 

door swing is desired. See the 

installation instructions.

Allow a minimum of 4½” (11.4 cm) of space between the side of the refrigerator and a 

corner wall. More clearance may be needed if thicker custom panels or custom handles are 

used. Do not overlook baseboards.
