Predrill Panels (custom wood panels only)
IMPORTANT: The template 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 panels.
2. Predrill
¹⁄₈
" (0.32 cm) deep pilot holes into the wood rails
bordering the door(s), drawer 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.
NOTE: For 36" model door panel kits which are right-hand
swing and left-hand swing specific use the following
instructions:
■
Hinge on right-hand side - Use the holes, located on the
back side of the door panel, that are circled in red.
■
Hinge on left-hand side - Use the holes, located on the
back side of the door panel, that are circled in blue.
2. Remove the film covering on stainless steel door panels
before installing brackets.
Prepare Panels (custom wood and panel kits)
IMPORTANT: The process for installing wood overlay panels on
the refrigerator is the same for both custom wood panels and
panel kits.
Door Panel
1. Place panel(s) on a firm, flat surface with the front facing
down.
2. Locate the two pre drilled 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 pre drilled door
panel (two door panel 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 pre drilled.
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 - Find the holes to attach the hex head pointed
screws by locating the slots in the door panel, not the
U-shaped holes.
5. Attach a panel top bracket to the top edge of the door panel(s)
by placing the large ends of the keyhole slots 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.
