IMPORTANT NOTE – DISPENSER MODELS
The refrigerator is supplied with two dispenser trims, one for framed panels and one for overlay panels. The
overlay dispenser trim is designed to fit a total panel thickness of 1.100”.
• If the panel is less than 1.100” (2.79 cm) a noticeable gap may be created around the dispenser trim.
• If the panel is more than 1.100” (2.79 cm) the dispenser trim cannot be secured to the door.
See Dispenser Trim Fit Example, page 13.
• The overlay panel must be constructed according to the specifications shown to achieve the correct total
thickness.
• Alternative panel construction methods such as securing a 3/4” (1.91 cm) panel to a 1/4” (0.63 cm) backer
panel cannot be used. Another method, routing a 3/4” (1.91 cm) thick panel on all sides, cannot be used. These
methods will not result in the required 1.100” (2.79 cm) panel thickness.
3/4” (1.91 cm) OVERLAY PANEL
DIMENSIONS
For a more custom appearance, overlay panels may
be installed on trimmed models. The overlay panel
must be secured to a 1/4” (0.63 cm) thick backer
panel which slides into the trim. A spacer panel 0.10”
(0.25 cm) thick must be placed between the overlay
and backer panel.
Assemble the panels with glue and screws:
• Center the spacer panel on the backer panel, left to
right and top to bottom. Secure the panels with glue.
• Center the spacer and backer panel on the overlay
panel and secure with glue and screws. Screws
must be countersunk into the backer panel.
NOTE: Left-to-right offset
is not always equal to top-
to-bottom offset.
