Care of Decorator Panels
1.
Clean panels with an anti-static cleaner (available in
electronics or computer departments) or mild soap and water
with a clean, soft, damp cloth.
2.
Rinse panels thoroughly and blot dry using a dry, soft cloth or
chamois.
3. DO NOT
use paper towels or cleaners which contain solvents
such as ammonia. They can damage the surface of the
panels.
4.
If small scratches should appear on the panels, they may be
filled using an automotive paste wax (NOT a cleaner/wax
combination). Apply wax sparingly and buff lightly with a
clean, soft cloth using a circular motion.
Installing Custom Wood Panels
If you plan to install custom wood decorator panels, you will need
to create the panels yourself or consult your cabinet maker or
carpenter. See dimensional drawings for wood panel inserts.
Flat panels:
You can create a custom flat panel ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) thick to
replace your decorator panels. Flat wood panels less than ¹⁄₄ in.
(6.35 mm) thick are not recommended.
Raised panels:
A raised panel design can be created by screwing or gluing wood
panels to ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) backing or by using ³⁄₄ in. (19.05 mm)
stock with routed edges.
Weight requirements for raised panel inserts:
Refrigerator door panel should not exceed
25 lbs (9.98 kg).
Freezer door panels should not exceed 18 lbs (6.80 kg)
combined weight.
