freestanding or integrated in tall unit?

cybervic

Does any know if a freestanding fridge or freezer (medium height 122cm) can be put in a tall kitchen unit or it's just integrated ones only? Do fridge/freezer bottom touches the floor or they all have to be raised up?

Thanks.

They are designed for integrated fridge freezers, the doors are attached to the unit doors. The fridge freezer sits inside the unit not on the floor.


You could get a joiner to make it work but it wouldn't be the same.

Undercounter refrigerators, freezers and (some/ all?) slimline dishwashers sit on the floor, presumably to maximise the useable space inside smaller appliances. If the undercounter appliance is integrated a matching cupboard door is attached to the appliance door. I was surprised to learn from MSE that taller fridge-freezers usually sit in a housing unit, in line with certain other built in appliances (eg. oven) I suppose!

Read the user manual to see what clearance is needed around your freestanding fridge-freezer. Also consider the maximum weight the kitchen unit can take.
