Questionwhat is panel ready
Asked 9 years ago by trashman.
- Answer Panel ready means the appliance gets delivered without a front. You would then go to a cabinet maker so they can design a custom panel and pull handles to match the cabinets in your kitchen. This way at a glance you would not know there was an appliance there as it would seamlessly blend in with you cabinets

QuestionCan this unit be used as a free standing piece?
Asked 5 years ago by John.
- Answer There is no reason it couldn't. It would be rather bulky, it is not a small appliance. It is designed to fit under a cabinet, but it would still work free standing.

QuestionAre these any good to compact plastic recycling? Thinking of milk jugs etc. Almost all of our trash is packaging. Our bio waste goes into the yard for composting.
Asked 2 years ago by Dolphins.
- Answer Why not? But.. only if you do same sort of packaging. It would hinder waste management from separating cans, glass and plastics if you toss them in together.

QuestionWill this fit in an opening of 33 3/4” high if the wheels are taken off?
Asked 4 years ago by Bev.
- Answer This will probably fit very tightly without taking the wheels off. I measured my opening and it is right about that size for height and it fit without removing anything. It was a tight fit. Your tightest area will be the two machine screws at the top of the unit. I put this unit in to replace an old Jenn Air that tightly fit in the same space.

QuestionHow far does the handle stick out? I’m afraid it will get in the way of opening a corner drawer..
Asked 10 months ago by Anonymous.
- Answer The appliance door itself sticks out 1 inch further than the wood on the front of the cabinet...about the same as the front of the drawers beside it. The handle sticks out 2.375 inches from the front of the door. It's about the same as the handle on a dishwasher.
