Guides
Can a smaller integrated fridge fit a larger cabinet?
Yes, if the cabinet sits within the manufacturer’s documented range. Empty space alone is not proof of fit.
A gap can be intentional
The appliance outer size and installation cabinet are different measurements.
Do not improvise outside range
Outside the manufacturer range, fixings, ventilation and electrical safety must be planned before purchase.
Ventilation and door opening
Clearance, airflow and opening angle must still meet the installation drawing.

Common questions
Is a smaller appliance automatically suitable?
No. Spare space does not guarantee correct fixing or ventilation. Check the permitted cabinet dimensions and specified mounting. Added panels or plinths must not obstruct airflow; plan cabinet alterations using the appliance’s installation instructions.
