PANEL INSTALLATION
Custom Panels
DOOR PANELS
To install custom door panels, remove the handle side trim
molding. Insert a screwdriver tip into the top corner slot
on the handle side and pop out the trim. For the drawer,
insert a screwdriver tip into the slot on either side of the trim
running along the top of the drawer and pop out the trim.
Remove the screws and frame. Refer to the illustrations
below.
The door has a 6 mm frame for the custom panel to slide
into. If the panel is thicker than a 6 mm, rout an edge around
the panel or mount the panel on a sheet of 6 mm thick
material, then insert into the frame.
Door side trim. Drawer top trim.

A 3 mm space is required between the backer panel and the
custom panel to allow the panel to slide into the door frame.
Refer to the illustrations below for critical dimensions.
Install handle hardware before inserting the panel. Large
D-style handles are recommend rather than knobs. Screw
heads must be countersunk into the panel.
Slide the panel into the frame.
To reinstall the door trim molding, insert the top of the trim
into grooves at the top of the door and work downward,
snapping the trim into clips on the door frame. For the
drawer, start at one end and move towards the opposite
end, snapping the trim into the clips.

filler material will need to be installed to achieve a proper
fit. Once the panel is installed, reattach the bottom grille
frame by sliding the corner brackets back into position, then
reinstall the four corner screws.
