OverlaySeries Custom Panels
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.
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 30 lbs (13.5 kg).
■The weight of the top grille overlay panel cannot exceed 10 lbs (4.5 kg).
