If the built-in area depth is 25" (63.5 cm) or more, the side panels

the side trim.
IMPORTANT: KitchenAid is not responsible for the removal or
addition of molding or decorative panels that would not allow
access to the refrigerator for service.

routed side panel into the trim piece.

Install Base Grille

There are two pieces to the base grille to allow for a custom fit:
the base grille itself and the skirt. The skirt can be added to the
base grille in order to extend it all the way to the floor.
1. To see if the skirt is needed, place the base grille into
position. Do not attach the base grille to the refrigerator.
Measure the distance between the bottom of the base grille
and the floor. The gap must be a minimum of ¹⁄₂" (1.27 cm) in
order to add the skirt.
NOTE: If the gap measures less than ¹⁄₂" (1.27 cm), skip
steps 3 and 4 of the instructions, and install the base grille
only.
2. Remove the protective film from the base grille.
