GE Monogram Side by Side Refrigerators Refrigerator User Manual


 
3/4" OVERLAY PANEL DIMENSIONS
For a more custom appearance, overlay panels may be
installed on trimmed models. The overlay panel must
be secured to a 1/4" thick backer panel which slides
into the trim. A spacer panel 0.10" thick must be
placed between the overlay and backer panel.
Assemble the panels with glue and screws.
• Center the spacer panel on the backer panel, left to
right and top to bottom. Secure the panels with glue.
• Center the spacer and backer panel on the overlay
panel and secure with glue and screws. Screws must
be countersunk into the backer panel.
NOTE: Left-to-right offset
is not always equal to
top-to-bottom offset.

IMPORTANT NOTE DISPENSER MODELS
The refrigerator is supplied with two dispenser trims,
one for framed panels and one for overlay panels.
The overlay dispenser trim is designed to fit a total
panel thickness of 1.100".
• If the panel is less than 1.100" a noticeable gap may
be created around the dispenser trim.
• If the panel is more than 1.100" the dispenser trim
cannot be secured to the door.
See Dispenser Trim Fit Example, page 9.
.250" + .10" + .750" = 1.100" Total Panel Thickness
• The overlay panel must be constructed according to
the specifications shown to achieve the correct total
thickness.
• Alternative panel construction methods such as
securing a 3/4" panel to a 1/4" backer panel cannot
be used. Another method, routing a 3/4" thick
panel on all sides cannot be used. These methods
will not result in the required 1.100" panel thickness.
When a raised panel design is to be used, a custom
middle rail is required. See page 9 for details.
