Creating Custom Wood Panels

If you plan to install custom wood decorator panels, you will need to create the panels yourself or consult your cabinet maker or carpenter. See dimensional drawings for wood panel inserts.

Flat panels:

You can create a custom flat panel a maximum of ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) thick to replace your decorator panels. Flat wood panels less than ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) thick are not recommended.

Raised panels:

A raised panel design can be created by screwing or gluing wood panels to ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) backing or by using ³⁄₄ in. (19.05 mm) stock with routed edges. Raised panels should be spaced

2¹⁄₄ in. (5.70 cm) from the back edge of the handle to allow room for fingers to grasp the handle.

Installing Custom Wood Panels

1.Remove any packing tape.

2.Remove the refrigerator and freezer door trims from the hinge side of each door by pulling the trim away from the bottom of the door first.

3.Partially unscrew the two screws that hold the top trim in place. It is not necessary to completely remove the screws. Loosen the screws approximately ¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) from the trim to allow the panels to slide freely.

4.Remove the existing door panels, if panels were provided.

5.Slide custom door panels into place.

NOTE: The freezer door panels may require ¹⁄₈ in. (3.18 mm) cardboard fillers behind the panels to keep them from being loose in that area.
