Installation Requirements
The custom overlay panels allow you to blend the exterior of
your refrigerator into the overall kitchen décor, and to use custom
handles for additional design flexibility.
The custom panels must have backer panels attached in order
to mount them to the refrigerator. It is most common to work with
three panels, as shown in the graphic on the right. A decorative
overlay panel, a ¹/
8
” (3.2 mm) spacer panel or spacer strips and a
¼” (6.4 mm) backer panel.
In some cases, your cabinet manufacturer may choose to work
with one panel routed for the different dimensions. Follow these
panel dimension and placement instructions to be sure that the
custom overlay panels will fit properly.
IMPORTANT :
Install the panels after moving the
refrigerator into place. The weight of the overlay panels
cannot exceed:
ƒ
50 lbs. (22.7 kg) for the refrigerator door.
ƒ
40 lbs. (18.1 kg) for the freezer door.
ƒ
10 lbs. (4.5 kg) for the top grille.
To minimize panel weight, you may use 2” (5.1 cm) spacer strips
around the perimeter in place of full-sheet solid spacer panels.
The spacer strips must be set in at least 1” (2.5 cm) from the top,
bottom and sides edges of the backer panel. If you use spacer
strips, it is also recommended that you use two 2” (5.1 cm) strips
horizontally centered for added support.
