how to measure fridge height

Measure height of space.

Working from top to bottom, measure the height of the space in cm with a tape measure. Remember to include any floor coverings e.g tiles that may still need to be installed.

how to measure fridge width

Measure width of space.

To determine how wide the space is, measure from left to right. If the width of the space varies, provide the smallest width. Maintain a gap of at least 5cm between appliances, if they are installed side by side.

how to measure fridge depth

Measure depth of space.

To determine how deep the space is, measure from the wall to the opening of the area. Remember to leave 5cm for ventilation. If your plug socket or tap is behind the appliance (and cannot be moved) remember to include this in your measurement.

THINGS TO CONSIDER

Space for open doors

Many of our fridge freezers open up to 90° when installed next to a wall, this allows for great access to your fridge contents. Should you wish to open the door wider than 90° or install a model with protruding handles you should leave additional room to the right and left of the appliance.

Space for ventilation

Depending on your appliance you may need different amounts of ventilation space. For models that have the condenser coils at the back, enough space must be available for air to circulate in accordance with it's user manual. Alternatively choose a PerfectFit model for a perfectly flush fit.

Make plug sockets and water taps accessible

Do not place electrical plug sockets or water taps behind the appliance, they should always be accessible without having to remove your appliance from its housing. If they can't be moved, please include it in your depth measurments.

Consult an expert for installation

Installing a cooling appliance can be more complex than it seems. You should consult an expert to ensure you have the optimum door space, surrounding kitchen furniture, ventilation and plumbing before you install.
