Monolith columns are designed to fit any type of
kitchen cabinetry door installation, whether 25" depth
as the typical North America style, or the 24" depth
known as European style.
The depth of the Monolith columns is 24" (610 mm),
which allows for the appliances to be installed in an
European style kitchen cabinetry which requires 24"
(610 mm) and also a 25" (635 mm) deeper cut out to
accommodate different types of installation like stan-
dard overlay, full overlay, offset or flush inset installation.
The cut out is the niche in which a Monolith column
is installed. The width of the cut out can be the one
of a single column (18", 24", 30", etc.) or the one
for a Side-by-Side combination (42", 48", 54", etc.),
this will depend on the column models considered.
In the North American style cabinetry, the total depth of
the cut out is equal to the depth of the niche plus the face
frame. It does not necessarily include the thickness of the
door panel, as this will depend on the installation style.
For a Standard Overlay on an American Style cabinet and frameless installation in European style cabinet, use the
door panel dimension specified as frameless installation.
For a flush inset installation, use the door panel dimensions of inset installation.
For any other type of installation, please refer to Door Clearance Requirements (page 35) to define the door panel
dimensions.
Installation Dimensions
When planning the cut out, it is essential that the
top and side interior walls be flush to the appliance
at a minimum depth of 4" (102 mm) from the outer
edge of the face frame and composed of thick
(5/8" (16 mm) minimum) material for secure
installation. Also, because the case interior will be
partially visible when the refrigerator door is opened,
always ensure that the top and side returns are
finished to match the exterior furniture at the same
minimum depth of 4" (102 mm).
Monolith columns include a sealing set in order to
cleanly close the gaps between appliance and
cabinet side walls.
Monolith columns are designed to be fully flush
integrated when installed in 25" (635 mm) deep
cabinets, by using the stainless steel panels
offered as accessories, or custom door panels that
perfectly match the rest of kitchen cabinetry.
The typical wood panel thickness is 3/4" (19 mm),
however thicker panels or other materials can be used.
When using custom panels, always ensure that the
panel reverse is finished to match the exterior, as
parts of the panel reverse will be visible when the
refrigerator door is opened.
When using custom panels, do not exceed the
maximum panel weight allowed by the door hinge
of the specific column.
