HANDLELESS INTEGRATED DRAWER PANELS
The following procedure is designed to provide a finished,
handleless solid panel for a 24" (600 mm) drawer that
seamlessly integrates with its surrounding cabinetry.
Prepare two panels for your drawer unit.
NOTE: Many cabinet manufacturers provide a ready
solution for a handleless, integrated design that can be
easily applied to your U-Line 3000 Series 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 panel solution wherein the size of the panel
may result in a height dimension taller than what we
specify. This can be achieved provided the additional
height is positioned above the appliance drawer.
NOTICE
The integrated panel aligns with the surrounding
cabinetry and, due to differences in cabinetry,
may not align perfectly with the drawer.
The appliance will need up to 34-1/2" (876 mm)
to the underside of the counter to leave room for
leveling adjustments.
Each drawer panel with insert must not weigh
more than 20 lbs (10 kg).
