|---|---|
| Size (W × D × H) | 14.88 in × 23.63 in × 32.00 in; 25.38 in deep with handleWidth × depth × height, using the larger figure where the documents differ. The manual’s table gives 14⅞ in wide and 22¾ in deep; the product page gives 14.75 in wide and 23.63 in deep. With the door open to 90°, it needs 38.25 in of depth. |
| Weight | 68 lbThe manual gives no weight. |
| Built-in or freestanding | Built-in or freestanding, front-breathing; sized for 32 in ADA counters |
| Air gap it needs | Built in: ¼ in at each side, 2 in at the back, ⅛ in at the topThe manual words these as advice (“it is better to keep at least”). For freestanding use it suggests 5 in at the back and sides and 4 in on top. Its cutout table lists a 15 in × 22¾ in × 32⅛ in opening, which leaves less room than those gaps. Ask Summit which to follow before you build it in. |
