“I’m having panels installed on either side to frame this in. What should the depth of the panels be from the wall to the front in order to allow the doors to clear the panels and open fully?”

Measure the side of the refrigerator from the back edge to the front edge (not including the door) and add the clearance recommendation in the users manual (around 2 inches). My refrigerator is a similar setup an my wall panel is 24 3/4". It was build that way, so I pushed my frig in until I had 2" between the front edge of the panel to the front edge of the frig (not including the door). I have more space to push back but the panel edge would impede doo opening.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The side panels should be 22.75”. This will allow for a 6” bump out from the end of the side panel. This 6” is enough to allow me to fully open both doors. You may need to add an inch or two depending on your water hookup and electrical connections in the back. Hope this helps.
