USER GUIDE
HANDLELESS INTEGRATED FRAME
The following procedure is designed to provide a finished,
handleless frame for a 24" (600 mm) door that seamlessly
integrates with its surrounding cabinetry.
NOTE: Many cabinet manufacturers provide a ready
solution for a handleless, integrated design that can be
easily applied to your model. Consult your cabinet
manufacturer for applicable design and installation details.
The cabinet manufacturer's solution to this design and
integration detail will often result in an integrated frame
solution wherein the size of the frame may result in a
height dimension taller than what we specify. This can be
achieved provided the additional height is positioned
above the appliance door.
NOTICE
The integrated frame aligns with the
surrounding cabinetry and, due to differences in
cabinetry, may not align perfectly with the door.
The appliance will need up to 34-1/2" (876 mm)
to the underside of the counter to leave room for
leveling adjustments.
A single prepared frame with insert must not
weigh more than 20 lbs (10 kg).
