Door Panels – Routing Requirements

If the standard handle is used, rout the entire handle side of both

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.
NOTE: To use full-overlay custom panels, a Trimless Trim Kit for
Side by Sides is required (TRIMKITSXS). Full-overlay custom
panels and handles are required but not included. Create the
panels according to these specifications. You may order
Thermador's Handle Kit (HANDKIT) or select handles from
another source. See the "Models" section under "Design
Specifications" for additional information.
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 / " (3.18 mm) spacer panel or spacer strips and
a / " (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 total weight of the refrigerator door overlay panel cannot
exceed 50 lbs (23 kg).
The total weight of the freezer door overlay panel cannot
exceed 30 lbs (13.5 kg).
The total weight of the top grille overlay panel cannot exceed
10 lbs (4.5 kg).
