Trim kits and decorator panels.

For built-in style models

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Before You Begin

Some models are equipped with trim kits that allow you to install door panels. You can order pre-cut black or white decorator panels from GE Parts and Accessories, 800-626-2002, or you can add wood panels to match your kitchen cabinets.

Panels less than 1/4″ (6 mm) Thick

When installing wood panels less than 1/4″ (6 mm) thick, you need to create a filler panel, such as 1/8″ cardboard, that will fit between the face of the door and the wood panel. If you are installing the pre-cut decorator panels, pre-cut filler panels are included in the kit. The combined thickness of the decorator or wood panel and the filler panel should be 1/4″ (6 mm).

3/4″ (19 mm) or Raised Panel

A raised panel design screwed or glued to a 1/4″ (6 mm) thick backing, or a 3/4″ (19 mm) routed board can be used. The raised portion of the panel must be fabricated to permit clearances of at least 2″ (51 mm) from the handle side for fingertip clearance.
