I did however go and get the required dimensions from it for the opening-luckily because the height allowance for our opening was listed at 1800mm but we will require 1900mm.....

Very important if you want your white goods to last, they need breathing space for the heat exchanger to operate. When we did our research, we found most side by side fridges were 900mm. The builder said that most people go for 950mm. But we opted to widen this again to 1000mm (1 meter) Its not a lot of difference, but it should help air to flow around the fridge Re: sizes of fridge and microwave spaces 8May 03, 2010 4:04 pm thanks for that roadkill, never thought of that. will do Building in the Hunter Valley - 5 glorious acres.
