Cabinet figures only. Manufacturers specify ventilation clearance per model, and doors can need more than the cabinet's width to open fully — both are in the model's manual.
Door hinge and warranty come from retailer listings, checked 3 Nov 2026.
Will it fit
The cabinet measures 595 mm wide, 671 mm deep and 1520 mm high in the Australian Government's energy-rating database. Enter the space it has to go in.
With a door open 90° it reaches about 1266 mm from the wall — a single leaf swings its full 595 mm width. That is geometry from the cabinet width and the door count, not a figure the manufacturer publishes: it ignores the handle and the door's own thickness.
Not included. These are cabinet figures. Manufacturers state a ventilation clearance per model in the installation instructions; a figure typed into the Clearance box applies to both sides, the back and the top. No clearance figure for this model is held here, so the answer above allows none until one is entered. Handle projection and door thickness are not recorded, and the hinge side decides which way the door opens.
