Fridge position

12 years ago

The fridge in my kitchen design is the hardest thing to place as I want French door openings just like the one in the images, however I noticed that you placed the fridge right next to a wall, dose fibs affect it's opening operation?

That is a very good question. Placement with refrigerators that open in both directions is always something to look at closely. In this case, there is a filler between the wall and the door. This filler is only about an 1" on each side. The door on the left will open about 110 degrees. It moves for cleaning, but otherwise it is restricted.
