INSTALLING CUSTOM DOOR PANELS
• Installing custom door panels
If you wish to install custom door panels, have the panels
made according to dimension drawings.
• Flat panels
Flat panels may be fitted in the frames (max thickness of
panels: 6.35 mm). Flat panels less than 6.35 mm thick are not
recommended.
• Raised panels
A raised panel design can be created by screwing or gluing
wood panels to 6.35 mm backing or by using 16 mm stock
with 6.35 mm routed edges.
When installing the raised panels, leave 5.70 cm clearance
between the panels and the rear of the handle to allow holding
it freely.
• Weight requirements for raised panel inserts
- The refrigerator door panel should not exceed 10 kg.
- The freezer door panel should not exceed 7 kg.
Installing custom door panels
1. Remove any packing tape.
2. Remove the refrigerator and freezer door magnetic trims
from the hinge side of each door by pulling the trims away
from the bottom of the door.
3. Loosen the screws that fix the upper magnetic trim
approximately 6.35 mm (do not completely loosen) to allow
the panels to slide freely.
4. Remove the existing door panels, if panels were provided.
5. Slide custom door panels into place.
6. Replace the hinge side trims by inserting the upper end
under the top trim first.
7. Tighten the two top trim screws.
