Install Custom Panel – Option 2

(Models KUDC03IV and KUDS30IV)

All models require an accessory option to attach custom panels. Kit Number 8171555 (black), 8171556 (white) or 8171557 (biscuit) are available. To order, call customer service at 1-800-444-1230.

NOTE: A custom full-front panel must weigh no more than 14 lbs (6.3 kg) and must be made to specific dimensions. It is recommended that a cabinetmaker cut the custom panel because of the precise dimensions needed.

IMPORTANT: Use a moisture-resistant sealer on both sides and all edges of the panel to avoid damage from humidity.

NOTE: These dimensions are for frameless custom panel models with a 4" (10.2 cm) console only.
