OVERLAY SERIES CUSTOM PANELS AND
HANDLE KITS
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.
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 weight of the refrigerator door overlay panel
cannot exceed 50 lbs (23 kg).
The weight of the freezer door overlay panel cannot
exceed 40 lbs (18.1 kg).
The weight of the top grille overlay panel cannot
exceed 10 lbs (4.5 kg).
To minimize panel weight, you may use 2" (5.08 cm)
spacer strips around the perimeter in place of full-sheet
solid spacer panels. The spacer strips must be set in
at least 1" (2.54 cm) from the top, bottom and sides
edges of the backer panel. If you use spacer strips, it is
also recommended that you use two 2" (5.08 cm) strips
horizontally centered for added support.
