STEP 11 LAYOUT DECORATIVE DOOR PANELS - FLUSH INSTALLATION ONLY
Decorative wood panels must be cut to a thickness of
3/4". The dimensions of each panel can be determined
by referring to the specs provided with appliance.
Panels must be predrilled to prevent accidental splitting
or cracking of wood when attaching to door brackets in
the next step.
1. Cut door panel to specified dimensions (as noted on
page 8 under Design Guide).
2. Lay the door panel face down on a non-scratch sur-
face.
3. Mark a vertical centerline on the backside of the door
panel.
4. Lay supplied panel TEMPLATE (attached to side case
of appliance) on the back of the door panel with the
lettering face up. See illustration to ensure proper
template placement. Align the top, side, and centerline
of the template with the top, side and centerline of the
door. Tape the template to the panel using masking
tape to temporarily secure it in place.
TOP
Template is aligned with top
of the panel. Hinge cutouts
should be on the OPPOSITE
side of where the hinge is
located on the unit since this
is the BACK of the panel.
5. Using a 1/8" wood drill bit, drill pilot holes into the door
panel ¼" deep through only the top group of holes in
the templates. Four holes will be drilled into the upper
corners of the door panel.
Installation Instructions
Panel is face down on
a non-scratch surface.
You will be drilling on
the BACK of the panel.

6. Using a pencil, trace the outline of the notch out of the
template at the top corner of the door. This mark will
provide a guide for routing wood to provide relief for
door hinge at top of door panel.
7. Remove the tape from the panel. Slide the templates to
the bottom of the panel aligning the bottom, sides, and
centerline of the panel with the bottom, sides and cen-
terline of the template. Tape in place.
Template is aligned with
bottom of the panel. Hinge
cutouts should be on the
OPPOSITE side of where the
hinge is located on the unit
since this is the BACK of the
panel.
8. Using a 1/8" wood drill bit, drill pilot holes into the door
panels 1/4" deep through only the bottom group of
holes in the templates. Four holes will be drilled into
the bottom corners of each door.
9. Using a pencil, trace the outline of the notch out of the
template at the bottom corner of each door. This mark
will provide a guide for routing wood to provide relief
for door hinge at bottom of door panel.
10. Route out the traced areas on the rear of each panel
1/4" deep and discard the door panel templates.
Preparation for handles
1. Lay out the location of the custom handle on the back
of the door panel.
2. Counter-sink the handle screw locations on back of
the pane to avoid interference with the door frame.
Countersink 1/4" to maintain 1/2" minimum material
thickness.
Panel is face down on
a non-scratch surface.
You will be drilling on
the BACK of the panel.
