Custom overlay panels used with models IF42 and IF48 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 below. A decorative overlay
panel, a ¹/8” (3.18 mm) spacer panel or spacer strips and a ¼”
(6.35 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:
50 lbs (23 kg) for the refrigerator door.
30 lbs (13.5 kg) for the freezer door.
10 lbs (4.5 kg) for the top grille.
To minimize panel weight, you may use 2” (5.08 cm) spacer strips
around the perimeter in place of full-sheet solid spacer panels.
The spacer strips must be set in at least 1” (2.54 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” (5.08
cm) strips horizontally centered for added support.
NOTE
: For the grille and the door panels to be flush, the overlay
door panel should be ¼” (6.35 mm) thicker than the overlay grille
panel.
