KitchenAid 2320680B manual Classic and Architect Series Custom Side Panels

Top Grille Panel – Routing Requirements

If the custom panels are thicker than ¹⁄₄" (6.35mm), the top and bottom edges of the top panel should be edge routed ¹⁄₂"

(1.27 cm) and ³⁄₈" (9.5 mm), respectively. Both ends should be edge routed ⁷⁄₈" (2.2 cm) as shown.

If an extended handle kit is used, rout the handle side ¹⁄₄"

(6.35 mm). All other routing dimensions would remain the same as the standard handle. Make sure your product location will allow doors with extended handles to be opened to 90 degrees. See “Door Swing Dimensions.”

For more information on ordering extended handles, see “Classic Series Factory Panels and Kits.”
