Appliance & Equipment Coordination
Plan the appliances before the cabinets.
The ten most common kitchen appliances, each with the cabinet cut-out, clearances, services and ventilation it needs. Mark what the unit has, pick each type, and send a coordination brief — so the cabinet is built around the real appliances, not estimates.
Never approve a cabinet shop drawing on estimated appliance dimensions.
Exact model specifications are essential — especially for the hob, hood, oven, fridge, dishwasher and a built-in microwave. Before production, record for every appliance:
- 01Brand and exact model
- 02Product dimensions and required clearances
- 03Cabinet cut-out dimensions
- 04Door swing and operating space
- 05Power load and plug type
- 06Water, gas, drainage or duct requirements
- 07Ventilation and heat-release requirements
- 08Maintenance and replacement access
What's in this kitchen?
Toggle each appliance, pick its type, and open its cabinet & services notes. The built-in and large-freestanding classes must be dimensioned before the shop drawing.
Built-in
Hob, hood, oven, dishwasher and a built-in microwave — dimensioned INTO the cabinet before the shop drawing.
Large freestanding
Fridge and water dispenser — a ventilated recess sized for a future replacement, with service access.
Countertop
Rice cooker, air fryer and kettle — an open, ventilated, steam-safe zone with a rated socket.

This feeds the cabinet spec
Appliances are the first thing the kitchen cabinetry has to fit. Lock them here, then check the cabinet material and moisture-zone spec — ALUMAX makes the cabinets to the confirmed models.
