Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Before You Begin
Some models are equipped with trim kits that allow you
to install door panels. You can order pre-cut black or
white decorator panels from GE Parts and Accessories,
800-626-2002, or you can add wood panels to match your
kitchen cabinets.
Panels less than 1/4 (6 mm) Thick
When installing wood panels less than 1/4 (6 mm) thick, you need
to create a filler panel, such as 1/8 cardboard, that will fit between
the face of the door and the wood panel. If you are installing the
pre-cut decorator panels, pre-cut filler panels are included in the
kit. The combined thickness of the decorator or wood panel and
the filler panel should be 1/4 (6 mm).
3/4(19 mm) or Raised Panel
A raised panel design screwed or glued to a 1/4 (6 mm) thick
backing, or a 3/4 (19 mm) routed board can be used. The raised
portion of the panel must be fabricated to permit clearances of at
least 2 (51 mm) from the handle side for fingertip clearance.
