Replacing a Bosch KIR81AF30: check the exact variant first
Bosch’s sheet distinguishes the 1772 × 558 × 545 mm appliance from the 1775 × 560 × 550 mm cabinet opening. The catalogue’s /01 and /02 entries use this model-family evidence; they are not separately documented installation approvals for both suffixes.
Read the complete E-Nr. on the rating plate. Then compare your actual cabinet and door attachment with the new appliance’s drawing. A 178 cm label or a similar Bosch model code is not enough.

Common questions
What do I need to replace my old appliance?
Record the complete model number from the rating plate, including any suffix such as /01. Add cabinet measurements and photos of the door attachment. The model family starts the search; it does not confirm every service variant or your actual kitchen installation.
Can I keep my furniture front when replacing the fridge?
Possibly, subject to checks. Compare the cabinet, front dimensions and new installation drawing. AEG describes changing from sliding to fixed fittings with attachment changes; a fridge-freezer also needs a matching lower front. This is not a blanket approval for every cabinet or manufacturer.

Is a recommendation my model’s official successor?
No. FridgeFit compares documented technical characteristics. A match does not establish official successor status or confirmed availability. Open the manufacturer source and check the complete variant and installation drawing before ordering from a retailer.
