Design Guide
3/4" OVERLAY PANEL DIMENSIONS
For a more custom appearance, overlay panels may
be installed on trimmed models. The overlay panel must
be secured to a 1/4" thick backer panel which slides
into the trim. A spacer panel 0.10" thick must be placed
between the overlay and backer panel.
Assemble the panels with glue and screws:
, Center the spacer panel on the backer panel, left to
right and top to bottom. Secure the panels with glue.
, Center the spacer and bucker panel on the overlay
panel and secure with glue and screws. Screws must
be countersunk into the backer panel.

IMPORTANTNOTE - DISPENSERMODELS
The refrigerator is supplied with two dispenser trims,
one for framed panels and one for overlay panels. The
overlay dispenser trim is designed to fit a total panel
thickness of 1.100".
, If the panel is less than !.100" a noticeable gap may
be created around the dispenser trim.
, If the panel is more than !.100" the dispenser trim
cannot be secured to the door.
See Dispenser Trim Fit Example, page 9.
, The overlay panel must be constructed according to
the specifications shown to achieve the correct total
thickness.
, Alternative panel construction methods such as
securing a 3/4" panel to a 1/4" backer panel cannot
be used. Another method, routing a 3/4" thick panel
on all sides, cannot be used. These methods will not
result in the required 1.100" panel thickness.
When a raised panel design is to be used, a custom
middle rail is required. See page 9 for details.
