Installation and Planning Notes
Dimensions: The appliance requires a cabinet width of 18 inches (45.7 cm) and has an overall height of 84 inches (2134 mm). Detailed diagrams illustrate installation clearances and door opening angles.
Door Hinge: Features a flat hinge design with a reversible door hinge. The door opening angle is 115°, which can be fixed at 90°.
Door Opening Impact:
- When the door opens to 90°, access to the drawers is restricted.
- Similarly, the standard ice storage container cannot be removed at a 90° door opening angle. A smaller ice storage container (RA 448 220) is available to ensure access in this configuration, but requires pre-installation.
Door Panel: The maximum door panel weight is 55 lbs (25 kg).
Ventilation Grill: The appliance ships with a white ventilation grill. A stainless steel grill is available as an optional accessory. No toe kick is provided.
Water Connection: A shut-off valve for the water connection must be planned next to the appliance and remain accessible. If the water pressure exceeds 116 psi, a pressure relief valve should be installed between the water tap and the hose set.
Further Information: Please refer to additional planning notes on pages 248-257 for comprehensive installation details.
