Order your own custom wood panels to match cabinetry or other decor.
Panels up to 1/4" thick will fit door frame with no special preparation. Add filler behind
material thinner than 1/4" for proper fit.
Weight Limits: Total weight of panels (i.e., both freezer panels)—Fresh Food = 38 lbs.,
Freezer = 28 lbs.
Note: Panels up to 3/4" will require special routing area around handles.
Dimensions may vary depending on depth of panel.
Collar trim installation
An enclosure is required to match up to the trim (see Typical Installation). To obtain
the most integrated look, the cabinet or soffit above the refrigerator should extend out
to the same depth as the side panels. The refrigerator opening must have minimum
dimensions of 70-1/4" high x 36-1/8" wide x 24-1/2" deep for 23 cu. ft. models and
72-1/4" high x 36-1/8" wide x 24-1/2" for 25 cu. ft. models, as shown at right. If there is
an overhead cabinet, allow 1" for cabinet door clearance with the top trim piece so the
cabinet doors can be opened without hitting the top trim. If 1/2" side panels are used,
then side trim and panel will be even. If 3/4" side panels are used, then some of the side
panel will extend beyond the trim and must be finished.
IMPORTANT: Before finalizing specifications for your GE Profile CustomStyle
Refrigerator, please NOTE:
• A minimum width of 36-1/8" is required for refrigerator installation with collar
Typical Installation
Shaded areas represent front surfaces of side panels and
overhead cabinet or soffit that contacts trim.

the refrigerator, you may need to consider adding a maximum of 1/4" (70-1/2")
to height of opening for 23 cu. ft. models and 1/8" (72-3/8") for 25 cu. ft. models
to allow additional clearance between cabinet doors and top of refrigerator trim
when cabinet doors are in open position.
