Opening Size

Electrical Requirements

Notes
  • Requires an additional 11" of height for the new model.
  • Opening width and depth are the same.
  • The existing electrical location for the 501R is in a different location than suggested for model BI-36R.

Panels

  • The panel from model 501R will not fit model BI-36R. The panel is too short and narrow.
  • Side panels are different and cannot be reused.
