Custom Overlay Panels - Jenn-Air JS42NXFXDW Installation Manual

Prepare Custom Overlay Panels
IM PORTANT:
• The process for installing overlay panels on the refrigerator is
the same for both custom panels and panel kits.
• The drilling templates are used only for custom wood overlay
panels.
The panels included in the panel kits are predrilled for the
mounting brackets only. See "Complete Installation" later in
this section, for instructions on drilling additional holes in the
door panels.
• The film covering on stainless steel door panels must be
removed before installing brackets.
1. Place panels on a firm, flat surface with the front facing down.
2. Using the templates (provided), predrill a 1/8"deep pilot hole
into the wood rails bordering the doors and top grille panels.
Follow the instructions printed on the template.
3. Using the installation block as a guide for depth, screw the
door studs (provided) into the predrilled door panel (two door
studs per door).

Insert hex head pointed screws (provided) into the wood at the
top of the door panels where they were predrilled.
NOTE: It is critical to use the %" screw, the longest length
provided, to attach the bracket to the top of the door panel.
These hex head pointed screws are used only to attach this
mounting bracket.
Attach a mounting bracket to the top edge of each door panel
by placing the large end of the keyhole slot over the screws
and sliding the bracket so that the screws are centered in the
slots.
NOTE: Start with the screws in the center of the slots as
shown, then move the door panel, as necessary, to align.
