Guides
Do integrated-fridge dimensions need to match 1:1?
No. The required cabinet, door fitting, furniture front and ventilation must match; the old appliance’s outer size is not enough.
Compare the cabinet
Measure the free interior and compare it with the exact candidate’s installation drawing.
Other essentials
Door system, furniture front, ventilation and fixing points also matter.
Rounded classes
177 and 178 cm are retail classes, not installation guarantees.

Common questions
Do 1775 and 1780 mm automatically fit the same opening?
No. The 178 cm category does not approve every cabinet height. The Bosch KIR81AF30 sheet lists a 1772 mm appliance height and a 1775 mm niche height. For another appliance, check its own permitted installation range instead of rounding up by five millimetres.

Must the new appliance have exactly the same external dimensions?
What matters is whether your measured cabinet fits the new appliance’s documented installation range. Identical external dimensions alone are not enough: door fitting, front attachment, door split, ventilation and opening clearance must also work. A catalogue match remains a shortlist until these checks are complete.
