Overlay Series Custom Panels and Handle Kits

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.

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 door overlay panel cannot exceed 40 lbs (18.1 kg).

■The weight of the top grille overlay panel cannot exceed 10 lbs (4.5 kg).

To minimize panel weight, you may use 2" (5.08 cm) spacer strips around the perimeter in place of full-sheet solid spacer panels. The spacer strips must be set in at least 1" (2.54 cm) from the top, bottom and sides edges of the backer panel. If you use spacer strips, it is also recommended that you use two 2"

(5.08 cm) strips horizontally centered for added support.
