Creating Custom Wood Panels

If you plan to install custom wood decorator panels, you will need to create the panels yourself or consult your cabinetmaker or carpenter. See dimensional drawings for wood panel inserts.

Flat panels:

You can create a custom flat panel a maximum of ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) thick to replace your decorator panels. Flat wood panels less than ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) thick are not recommended.

Raised panels:

A raised panel design can be created by screwing or gluing wood panels to ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) backing or by using ³⁄₄ in. (19.05 mm) stock with routed edges. Raised panels should be spaced

2¹⁄₄ in. (5.70 cm) from the back edge of the handle to allow room for fingers to grasp the handle.

Weight requirements for raised panel inserts:

■Refrigerator door panel should not exceed 28 lbs (12.7 kg).

■Freezer door panels should not exceed 21 lbs (9.5 kg) combined weight.

Installing Custom Wood Panels
