Option 2:
Top vented models with a custom full front panel.
NOTE: The handle for the custom panel is not included.
IMPORTANT: If the handle is attached from the back of the
custom panel, the screw heads must be flush with the
panel. If the handle is attached to the front of the custom
panel, the screw lengths cannot exceed the panel
thickness. For more information on KitchenAid custom
handle selection, refer to the KitchenAid Catalog, visit
www.kitchenaid.com, or call 1-800-422-1230.
NOTE: A custom full front panel must weigh no more than
16 pounds (7.3 kg) and must be made to specific
dimensions. It is recommended that a cabinetmaker cut the
custom panel because of the precise dimensions needed.
NOTE: All mounting hardware supplied are for a 3/4"
(19.1 mm) thick wood panel. If a thinner wood panel, or
materials other than wood are used, it is the consumer's
responsibility to obtain the proper length screws and
adjust the pilot holes accordingly.
IMPORTANT: Use a moisture resistant sealer on both sides
and all edges of the panel to protect it from humidity.
