Door Panel – Routing Requirements
If the custom panels are thicker than ¹⁄₄" (6.35 mm), then all edges
of the panels must be routed. If the standard handle is used, rout
the entire handle side of both panels 3¹⁄₄" (8.25 cm) to allow for
finger clearance. Then rout the hinge side of the refrigerator panel
1" (2.54 cm). Rout both sides of the freezer panel 1" (2.54 cm).

If an extended handle kit is used, rout the handle side ¹⁄₄"
(6.35 mm). All other routing dimensions would remain the same as
the standard handle. Make sure your product location will allow
doors with extended handles to be opened to 90 degrees. See
"Door Swing Dimensions."
For more information on ordering extended handles, see "Classic
Series Factory Panels and Kits."
NOTE: For both types of handles, rout the top and bottom edges
of the refrigerator panel ¹⁄₂" (1.27 cm). Rout the bottom of the
freezer panel ¹⁄₂" (1.27 cm).

Classic and Architect
Custom side panels may be needed when not enough space is
available to have cabinets on both sides of the refrigerator or
when the refrigerator is placed and the end of a cabinet run. You
may choose an Inset, Flush, or Recessed Inset panel installation.
Refrigerator and Side Trim Dimensions
The width and height of a side panel are determined by the type of
installation you are planning.
NOTES:
The dimensions shown are actual product dimensions and
may not reflect the needed panel installation dimensions.
The side panel should be a minimum of ¹⁄₂" (1.27 cm) thick
to avoid warping.
If the opening depth is 25" (63.5 cm) or more, you may
want to install a support board on the rear wall.
