Stainless Steel Series 72" (183 cm) Top Grille Panel Kit
A 72" (183 cm) wide Top Grille Panel Kit is available. This kit allows
2 units (one left-hand swing and one right-hand) to be installed
side by side with a single grille.
Extended Door Handle Kits
Use extended door handles when additional finger clearance is
needed between the door handles and custom panel. Follow the
kit instructions for installing the door handles.
Stainless Steel Series Custom Side Panels
Custom side panels may be needed when not enough space is
available to have cabinets on both sides of the refrigerator or
when the refrigerator is placed at the end of a cabinet run. You
may choose an Inset, Flush, or Recessed Inset panel installation.
Refrigerator and Side Trim Dimensions
The width and height of a side panel are determined by the type of
installation you are planning.
NOTES:
■ The dimensions shown are actual product dimensions and
may not reflect the needed panel installation dimensions.
■ The side panel should be a minimum of ¹⁄₂" (1.27 cm) thick
to avoid warping.
■ If the opening depth is 25" (63.5 cm) or more, you may
want to install a support board on the rear wall.
