75R, 75WC and 75BEV Models
4Prepare/Install Door Panel or Prepare Racks
Three types of custom treatments may be involved in your installation:
•75R Refrigerators will accept a Custom 1/4" Thick Insert to harmonize with or accent the surrounding decor.
•75BEV Beverage Centers are equipped with two maple- trimmed wine racks that are coated at the factory with a clear vinyl sealer, which will adequately protect the wood in normal usage. A final finish coat was not applied so that the wood trim could be stained to match décor. The trim on the racks may be coated with a final finish or stained.
If none of these treatments are to be included in this installation, go on to 5 Adjust Door.
