Changing the bin door panel
You can easily change the color of the front
panel on the storage bin door. Six colors are
available: Black, Almond, Harvest Gold, White,
Toast and Platinum.
To change panel:
1. Open the storage bin door. Remove the
two screws on the top of the door, which
hold the handle.
2. Loosen the screws in both of the side trim
pieces.
3. Remove the handle and the handle
insert.
4. Carefully slide the panels out. You will find
three panels with six colors.
5. Choose the color you want to show and
carefully slide the panels back into the
door. NOTE: Be careful not to scratch the
panels as they are inserted.
6. Replace the handle insert and tighten
the screws in both side trim pieces. Replace
the handle and the screws.
Note: you can make a decorative wood
front to match existing cabinets. The
panel should be Y4” (6 mm) thick and 17” x
llY4” (433 mm x 286 mm). Remove the
color panels and break off the ribs on the
door insulation to allow for wood
thickness.
