Decorator panels for framed models cover the door trim for an
attractive, seamless look that flows into the overall design of the
room. Framed models include full-length extruded handles (unlike
overlay models). Attention must be paid to hand clearance, or
the depth of space
between the decorator
panel and the built-in han-
dle. (See fig. 12 and fig.
13 on page 20 for more
information.)
This application is often
accomplished by using
three panels: the decorative
front panel, a spacer panel
of .10-inch thickness, and a
1/4-inch backer panel.
Other options to achieve
this look, such as using one
panel routed for different
dimensions, may be avail-
able from your cabinet
manufacturer.
Jenn-Air offers 42” and
48” dispenser and non-
dispenser models with
the framed design.
