Design Guide - Flush Inset Installation for French Door
Bottom Freezer Refrigerator
3/4” (1.9 cm) DECORATIVE PANEL
DIMENSIONS
For a more custom
appearance, overlay panels
may be installed to give
a flush appearance with
surrounding cabinets. The
overlay panel must be
3/4” (1.9 cm) thick. Panel
attaches to included brackets
to provide mounting to the
appliance door.
NOTE: We recommend that
decorative panels have inside
corners and edges rounded
or beveled by cabinet maker
to avoid sharp edges on the
panels. Edges to be treated
should include the top, bottom and hinge side edges.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Maximum total weight for the
assembled panels:
• Fresh food door panels – 30 lbs. (14 kg)
• Freezer drawer panel – 28 lbs.(13 kg)
• Grille Panel – 11 lbs. (5 kg)
