Adding Door Panels - GE 21 Guide D'utilisation Et D'entretien

Adding Door Panels (on models with trim kit)
These instructions describe how to insert decorator panels and what
size the panels should be.
Panels should be cut to the following dimensions:
" x 18
Top freezer panel—14 ⁄
5
16
" x 32
Bottom freezer panel—14 5 ⁄
16
" x 65
Fresh food panel—20 1 ⁄ 3
16
Panels that are 1/4" (6 mm) thick will fit the door frame trim with no
special preparation. If you have a material thinner than 1/4" (6 mm),
you will need to add a filler behind the panel for proper fit.
Pre-cut white and black panels are available from your dealer.
Inserting the Door Panels
1. REMOVE THE DOOR HANDLE TRIM
a. Open the freezer door and
remove the single screw from
the top handle cap. Do not try
to remove the cap.
b. Loosen the screws across the
top trim of the door
approximately 1/4" (6 mm).
This allows the top handle
cap to slip out from under the
top trim.
c. Remove the 5 screws from the
full-length handle. Keep all
screws. Extra replacement
screws for the door trim can be
found in the storage drawers.
d. Carefully remove the freezer
door handle along with the top
handle cap.
NOTE: Be careful not to damage
the bottom handle cap when
removing the freezer door handle.
It is attached to the full-length
handle with a screw and does
not need to be removed from
the handle.

A cut-out is required at these outer corners,
5/16" (8 mm) long, 1/8" (3 mm) deep.
2. INSERT THE PANELS
Carefully push the door panels into the
slots. Make sure that the top freezer
panel is put in with the cut-out at the
upper left hand corner. When inserting
the fresh food panel make sure the cut-
out is at the upper right hand corner.
3. REPLACE THE DOOR HANDLE
TRIM
Reinstall the full length handle and top
handle cap. Loosely screw the handle
onto the door. Place the cap on the top
of the handle and loosely screw down
the cap. Lift the handle up and tighten
the top screw on the handle. Then
tighten the handle cap screw so that
the cap and handle fit flush. Tighten
all the screws.
The fresh food panel is installed the same way.
