SIDE-BY-SIDE FULL-OVERLAY CUSTOM PANELS
Custom overlay panels allow you to blend the exterior of your refrigerator into the
overall kitchen décor, and to use custom handles for additional design flexibility.
Note: To use full-overlay custom panels, a Trimless Trim Kit for Side by Sides is
required (TRIMKITSXS). Full-overlay custom panels and handles are required but
not included. Create the panels according to these specifications.
The custom panels must have backer panels attached in order to mount them
to the refrigerator. It is most common to work with three panels, as shown in the
following graphic: a decorative overlay panel, a
1
/8" (3.18 mm) spacer panel or
spacer strips and a
1
/4" (6.35 mm) backer panel.
In some cases, your cabinet manufacturer may choose to work with one panel routed
for the different dimensions. Follow these panel dimension and placement instructions
to be sure that the custom overlay panels will fit properly.
Important:
– The total weight of the refrigerator door overlay panel cannot exceed 50 lbs. (23 kg).
– The total weight of the freezer door overlay panel cannot exceed 30 lbs. (13.5 kg).
– The total weight of the top grille overlay panel cannot exceed 10 lbs. (4.5 kg).
