NOTE: When creating a panel with face detail, the offsets will be
hidden and must be accounted for in order to center the detail in
the top grille.

Door Panels – Routing Requirements

If the custom panels are thicker than ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm), then all edges
of the panels must be routed. If the standard handle is used,
route the entire handle side of both panels 3¹⁄₄" (8.25 cm) to allow
for finger clearance. Then route the other sides 1" (2.54 cm).
Standard Handle – Top View
If an extended handle kit is used, route the handle side ¹⁄₄"
(6.35mm). All other routing dimensions would remain the same
as the standard handle. Make sure your product location will
allow doors with extended handles to be opened to 90 degrees.
See “Door Swing Dimensions.”
For more information on ordering extended handles, see “Classic
Series Factory Panels and Kits.”
NOTE: For both types of handles, route the top and bottom
edges ¹⁄₂" (1.3 cm).

Classic, Architect® and Pro Line® Series Custom Side Panels
Custom side panels may be needed when not enough space is
available to have cabinets on both sides of the refrigerator or
when the refrigerator is placed at the end of a cabinet run. You
may choose an Inset, Flush, or Recessed Inset panel installation.

Refrigerator and Side Trim Dimensions

The width and height of a side panel are determined by the type
of installation you are planning.
NOTES:
■The dimensions shown are actual product dimensions
and may not reflect the needed panel installation
dimensions.
■The side panel should be a minimum of ½" (1.27 cm) thick
to avoid warping.
■If the opening depth is 25" (63.5 cm) or more, you may
want to install a support board on rear wall.
