OVERLAY PANEL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

OVERLAY PANEL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Custom Overlay Drawer Panels

If you plan to install custom wood panels, you will need to create the panels yourself or consult a qualified cabinetmaker or carpenter. See dimension drawings for panel specifications.

IMPORTANT:

The thickness of the overlay panel must be ¹⁄₂" (12.7 mm) to ³⁄₄" (19.05 mm).

Do not exceed the height dimension for the overlay panel(s). Panel(s) that exceed the height dimension may damage the drawer dishwasher, cabinets or countertop.

The width of the overlay panel(s) may vary according to the width of the cabinet opening.
