Top vented models with a custom full front panel.
NOTE: The handle for the custom panel is not included.
IMPORTANT: If the handle is attached from the back of the custom panel, the screw heads must be flush with the panel. If the handle is attached to the front of the custom panel, the screw lengths cannot exceed the panel thickness. For more information on KitchenAid custom handle selection, refer to the KitchenAid Catalog, visit www.kitchenaid.com, or call
NOTE: A custom full front panel must weigh no more than 16 pounds (7.3 kg) and must be made to specific dimensions. It is recommended that a cabinetmaker cut the custom panel because of the precise dimensions needed.
NOTE: All mounting hardware supplied are for a 3/4"
(19.1 mm) thick wood panel. If a thinner wood panel, or materials other than wood are used, it is the consumer's responsibility to obtain the proper length screws and adjust the pilot holes accordingly.
IMPORTANT: Use a moisture resistant sealer on both sides and all edges of the panel to protect it from humidity.
