Drawer panel Preparation
A Full overlay drawer panel completely covers the drawer frame
and handle to give you a built-in appearance.
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
• The drawer panel must not weigh more than 10lbs.
• It is important to ensure that all drilled holes are drilled to the
correct depth in order to avoid splits in the wood when
hardware is installed.
• Appliance will need up to 34 1/2” to the under side of the
counter to leave room for leveling adjustments
1. Determine cabinet toe kick height, measure the difference
between the surface the appliance will sit on and the bottom of
the adjacent cabinetry. Adjust lower panel height according to
the height of your cabinetry’s Toe Kick.
2. The upper overlay has a fixed width and height, cut the upper
overlay to the dimension in the table below.

3. The lower overlay width is fixed at
23 3/4”,
the height will vary
depending on the height of your cabinetry’s Toe Kick. Use the
table below to determine the proper height.
Note:
Dimensions will vary based on the levelness of the floor. If
floor is uneven, cut panel to the next longer dimension and adjust
level legs to achieve proper fit

1. If user-supplied cabinet handles or knobs will be used attach
this hardware to the overlay panel at this time.

IMPORTANT
User-supplied cabinet handles MUST be counter bored to
make sure mounting hardware is below surface of overlay
panel. Failure to do so can cause damage to overlay panel

of the handle. Remove the handle.
3. Remove existing vinyl panel and cardboard spacer. Discard the
spacer.
4. Reinstall Handle
5. Repeat for both Drawers
Preparing The Drawer Frame For Overlay
You have received your drawers with or without holes pre-
punched into the galvanized steel. If your door does not have the
punched holes please use diagram

dimensions.
Preparing Steel Insert

plate and through the frame using the pre-punched holes as a
guide. If your panel is not pre-punched, see diagram below for
hole locations. Repeat for both drawers
Note:
Hole location dimensions will not line up with holes in pre-
punched panel.
