Custom Panels and Handles - IF42/IF48 Series Models

Custom overlay panels used with models IF42 and IF48 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 graphic below. A decorative overlay panel, a ¹/8” (3.18 mm) spacer panel or spacer strips and a ¼” (6.35 mm) backer panel.

	1/8"	(6.35 mm)

	(3.18 mm)

In some cases, your cabinet manufacturer may choose to work with one panel routed for the different dimensions. Follow these panel dimension and placement instructions to be sure that the custom overlay panels will fit properly.

IMPORTANT:

Install the panels after moving the refrigerator into place.

The weight of the overlay panels cannot exceed:

50 lbs (23 kg) for the refrigerator door.

30 lbs (13.5 kg) for the freezer door.

10 lbs (4.5 kg) for the top grille.

To minimize panel weight, you may use 2” (5.08 cm) spacer strips around the perimeter in place of full-sheet solid spacer panels. The spacer strips must be set in at least 1” (2.54 cm) from the top, bottom and sides edges of the backer panel. If you use spacer strips, it is also recommended that you use two 2” (5.08 cm) strips horizontally centered for added support.

NOTE: For the grille and the door panels to be flush, the overlay door panel should be ¼” (6.35 mm) thicker than the overlay grille panel.
