Predrill Panels (custom wood panels only)

IMPORTANT: The template can be used for either a ³⁄₈" (0.95 cm) or a ¹⁄₈" (0.32 cm) reveal installation.

The drilling templates are used only for custom wood overlay panels.

The drilling templates are double-sided.

The drilling holes are precut into the template.

1.On the template, locate the diagram of your refrigerator. Then, follow the letters and colored arrows to correctly place the drilling template on the panels.

2.Predrill ¹⁄₈" (0.32 cm) deep pilot holes into the wood rails bordering the door(s), drawer and top grille panels.

Predrill Panels (panel kits only)

IMPORTANT: The panels included in the panel kits are marked for the location of the mounting brackets only.

1.Predrill holes where marked. See “Complete Installation” later in this section, for instructions on drilling additional holes in the door panels.

NOTE: For 36" model door panel kits which are right-hand swing and left-hand swing specific use the following instructions:

Hinge on right-hand side - Use the holes, located on the back side of the door panel, that are circled in red.

Hinge on left-hand side - Use the holes, located on the back side of the door panel, that are circled in blue.

2.Peel back the film cover on the door panel in the area of the brackets and handle studs. Do not fully remove the film covering until the installation is complete.

4.For the mounting bracket, insert the hex head pointed screws (provided with refrigerator) into the wood at the top of the door panels where they were predrilled.

NOTES:

It is critical to use the ⁵⁄₈" screw, the longest length provided, to attach the bracket to the top of the door panel. These hex head pointed screws are used only to attach this mounting bracket.

Panel Kits - Find the holes to attach the hex head pointed screws by locating the slots in the door panel, not the U-shaped holes.

5.Attach a panel top bracket to the top edge of the door panel(s) by placing the large ends of the keyhole slots over the screws and sliding the bracket so that the screws are centered in the slots.

NOTE: Start with the screws in the center of the slots as shown, then move the door panel, as necessary, to align.
