Overlay Series Custom Panels

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:

■ For 36" (91.4 cm) single-door models, the refrigerator door

overlay panel cannot exceed 50 lbs (23 kg) and the freezer

drawer overlay panel cannot exceed 20 lbs (9.1 kg).

■ For 36" (91.4cm) and 42" (106.7 cm) French-door models, the

refrigerator door overlay panel cannot exceed 30 lbs (13.5 kg)

and the freezer drawer overlay panel cannot exceed 25 lbs

(11.4 kg).

■ The weight of the top grille overlay panel cannot exceed

10 lbs (4.5 kg) for both models.

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 side 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.
