Panel Kit Installation
Requirements
See the "36" Models" or the "42" French Door Models" section to
see the panel kit options available for your model.
IMPORTANT:
A panel kit installation can be achieved with either a 24"
(60.9 cm) or 25" (63.5 cm) deep opening.
A standard grille is used to achieve a panel kit installation. Use
the standard grille bracket (provided with refrigerator) to
attach the standard grille.
The grille panel height, shown in the "Panel Kit Installation—

performance.

Custom Wood Overlay Panel

Custom wood overlay panels allow you to blend the exterior of
your refrigerator into the overall kitchen décor and to use custom
handles for additional design flexibility.
In some cases, your cabinet manufacturer may choose to work
with one panel routed for the different dimensions. Follow these
panel dimension and placement instructions to be sure that the
custom wood overlay panels will fit properly.
