Trim Kits And Decorator Panels; Before You Begin - GE 21 Owner's Manual And Installation

Trim kits and decorator panels.

For panel required models
Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Before You Begin

Some models are equipped with trim kits that allow you to install door panels.
Panels less than 6.3 mm thick
When installing wood panels less than 6.3 mm thick, you need to create a filler panel, such as cardboard, that will
fit between the face of the door and the wood panel. If you are installing the pre-cut decorator panels, pre-cut filler
panels are included in the kit. The combined thickness of the decorator or wood panel and the filler panel should
be 8.7 mm with the panel itself being no larger than 6.3 mm.
Panels 6.3 mm thick or less
The handle and the top and bottom trim stand in front of the surface of the door, which requires that the filler
be smaller in length and width than the panel. Use the guidelines below and tape the filler onto the back of
the panel.
