Before YouBegin
Some models are equipped with trim kits that allow you to install door panels. You can order
pre-cut black, white, bisque or stainless steel decorator panels from GE Parts and Accessories,
800.626.2002, or you can add wood panels to match your kitchen cabinets.
Panels less than I/4" (6 mm) thick
When installing wood panels less tban 1/4" (6 mm) tbick, you need to create a filler panel, such as 1/8"
(3 mm) cardboard, that will fit between tbe face of tbe door and tbe wood panel. If you are installing the
pre-cut decorator panels, pre-cut filler panels are included in tbe kit. The combined thickness of the
decorator or wood panel and tbe filler panel should be 1/4" (6 mm).
