Panel
Overlay SeriesCustom Panels
Custom overlay panels 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 following graphic: a decorative overlay panel, a ¹/₈" (3.18 mm) spacer panel or spacer strips and a ¹/₄" (6.35 mm) backer panel.

Offset Dimension |
If an extended handle kit is used, then routing the handle side of the door and drawer panels is not required. See “Classic, Architect®, and Overlay Series Factory Panels and Kits” for more information on ordering extended handles.
If the standard handle is used, rout the entire handle side 3¹⁄₄" (8.25 cm) to allow for finger clearance. Then rout the other side 1" (2.54 cm).
Standard Handle – Top View
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:
■ The weight of the refrigerator door overlay panel cannot | |
| exceed 50 lbs (23 kg). |
■ | The weight of the freezer drawer overlay panel cannot exceed |
| 30 lbs (13.5 kg). |
■ | The weight of the top grille overlay panel cannot exceed |
