Predrill Panels (custom wood panels only)
IMPORTANT: The custom panel template shipped with the
refrigerator can be used for either a
³⁄₈
" (0.95 cm) or a
¹⁄₈
"
(0.32 cm) reveal installation.
■
The drilling templates are used only for custom wood overlay
panels.
■
The drilling templates are double-sided.
■
The drilling holes are precut into the template.
1. On the template, locate the diagram of your refrigerator.
Then, follow the letters and colored arrows to correctly place
the drilling template on the back side panels.
NOTE: Check the direction of the arrows to determine which
holes to mark when the template is aligned at the top of the
panel and which holes to mark when the template is aligned
at the bottom of the panel.
2. Predrill
¹⁄₈
" (0.32 cm) deep pilot holes into the wood rails
bordering the doors and top grille panels.
Predrill Panels (panel kits only)
IMPORTANT: The panels included in the panel kits are marked
for the location of the mounting brackets only.
1. Predrill holes where marked. See “Complete Installation” later
in this section, for instructions on drilling additional holes in
the door panels.
2. Peel back the film cover on the door panel in the area of the
brackets and handle studs. Do not fully remove the film
covering until the installation is complete.
Prepare Panels (custom wood and panel kits)
IMPORTANT: The process for installing panels on the refrigerator
is the same for both custom panels and panel kits.
Door Panels
1. Place panels on a firm, covered, flat surface with the front
facing down.
2. Locate the 2 predrilled holes in the handle side edge of the
door panel.
3. Using the installation block as a guide for depth, screw the
door studs (provided with refrigerator) into the predrilled door
panel (2 door studs per door).
4. For the mounting bracket, insert the hex-head pointed
screws (provided with refrigerator) into the wood at the top of
the door panels where they were predrilled.
NOTES:
■
It is critical to use the
⁵⁄₈
" screw, the longest length
provided, to attach the bracket to the top of the door
panel. These hex-head pointed screws are used only to
attach this mounting bracket.
■
Panel Kits—Insert the hex-head pointed screws into the
slots in the door panel, not the U-shaped holes.
5. Attach a mounting bracket to the top edge of each door panel
by placing the large end of the keyhole slot over the screws
and sliding the bracket so that the screws are centered in the
slots.
NOTE: Start with the screws in the center of the slots as
shown, then move the door panel, as necessary, to align.
Top Grille Panel
1. Using the slotted hex-head screws (provided with
refrigerator), attach a mounting bracket to each side of the
top grille panel.
IMPORTANT: See the “Parts Provided” section to select the
brackets designated for your installation.
■
Use the Integrated Grille brackets for a Fully Integrated
Grille installation with a full height grille.
