Customization Basics - GE 42 Manuel D'utilisation

CUSTOMIZATION BASICS:

Stainless Steel Wrapped Models
42" wide model—PSB42YS
48" wide model—PSB48YS
Stainless Steel wrapped refrigerators have wrapped
doors and grille panels, and beveled edges. These
models are shipped ready for installation.
Trimmed Models
42" wide models—PSB42YG
48" wide models—PSB48YG
Trimmed refrigerators are designed to be
customized with decorative panels. Field installed
custom door and grille panels are required. Panels
can be framed or full-width and can use either the
pre-installed handles or custom handles provided
by your cabinet manufacturer.
Framed Custom Panels
You may install custom panels from your cabinet
manufacturer. The decorative panel slides into
the factory installed trim. A 1/4" finished panel
can be used.
Framed Panel
You may install a 3/4" panel attached to a 1/4"
backer panel. If the pre-installed door handles are
used, the backer panel will be exposed by the handle
and therefore must be finished (page 24). Custom
handles can also be used.

Door Handles
Full-Width Overlay Custom Panels
Full-width overlay custom panels are designed
to slide into the factory-installed trim, no kits
required. In this design, you can achieve a nearly
trimless appearance.
A 0.10" spacer panel must be installed between
the finished 1/4" backer panel and 3/4"
appearance panel. If the pre-installed door
handles are used, the backer panel will be
exposed near the handle and therefore
must be finished (page 24).
3/4" Overlay Panel
.10" Thick Spacer Panel
1/4" Thick Backer Panel
Door Handles
The pre-installed handles can accommodate
both framed or overlay panels. Custom handles
of your choice, supplied by your cabinet maker,
can be installed only on 3/4" overlay panels.
When installing custom handles, measure to
ensure the mounting for the handles selected will
clear the dispenser when installed on the freezer
door. Handles need to mount on the upper and
lower wood panels of the freezer door and not
on the dispenser. If a custom handle is used, only
the 3/4" overlay panel must be exposed, and the
custom trim pieces should be installed (page 38).
