Integrated Panel Dimensions

Metric measurements rounded and optimized.

INTEGRATED PANEL
NOTICE: Due to differences in surrounding cabinetry the panel may not perfectly align with door. The procedure below is designed to provide a finished overlay panel that seamlessly integrates with surrounding cabinetry.

PANEL PREPARATION
A full integrated door panel completely covers the door frame and provides a built-in appearance.
NOTICE

• The door panel must not weigh more than 20 lbs (10 kg).
• It is important to ensure that all drilled holes are drilled to the correct depth in order to avoid splits in the wood when hardware is installed.

1. Cut the panels to the dimensions listed in the diagram below.
2. Optional: Stain or Finish panel to desired stain or color. Be sure to closely follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
3. Optional: Install handles and hardware.
   NOTICE
   When applying an integrated panel to a unit, ensure that both sides are finished in order to prevent warping. In some panel installations, the panel may be visible through the glass while the door is open.

Integrated Panel Dimensions

Handle less Integrated Door Panel
The following procedure is designed to provide a finished, handle less solid panel for an 18″ (450 mm) door that seamlessly integrates with its surrounding cabinetry. Prepare two 18″ (450 mm) overlays for 36″ (900 mm) units.
NOTE: Many cabinet manufacturers provide a ready solution for a handle- less, integrated design that can be easily applied to your U-Line 3000 Series model. Consult your cabinet manufacturer for applicable design and installation details. The cabinet manufacturer’s solution to this design and integration detail will often result in an integrated panel solution wherein the size of the panel may result in a height dimension taller than what we specify. This can be achieved provided the additional height is positioned above the appliance door.
NOTICE

• The integrated panel aligns with the surrounding cabinetry and, due to differences in cabinetry, may not align perfectly with the door.
• The appliance will need up to 34-1/2″ (876 mm) to the underside of the counter to leave room for leveling adjustments.
• A single prepared panel with insert must not weigh more than 20 lbs (10 kg).

Integrated Panel Preparation

1. Cut the main panels to the dimensions below. For details, see the drawings on the next page.
   Unit width| Panel width| Panel depth
   ---|---|---
   36″ (900 mm)| 17-5/8″ (445 mm)| 28-13/16″ (732 mm)
2. Create the top design for the handle less feature and the 1/8″ (3 mm) notch for the insert(s) indicated on the Top Detail drawing, on the next page.
3. Prepare the insert(s) that will back up the handle less design. Wooden Insert – Cut 1/8″ (3 mm) thick wooden insert(s) to the appropriate dimensions below.
   Unit width| Insert width| Insert depth
   ---|---|---
   36″ (900 mm)| 17-5/8″ (445 mm)| 3-1/2″ (89 mm)

*Two 18″ (450 mm) inserts are required for 36″ (900 mm) units.

4. Optional: Stain or finish panel and wooden insert to desired stain or color. Be sure to closely follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
   NOTICE

   • If finishing panel or wooden insert, all sides must be finished to prevent warping.
   • Attach the insert to the frame. Wood glue or equivalent adhesive should be used to attach insert to panel.

Extended Integrated Panel
NOTICE

Panel Preparation
An extended integrated panel can be used to maintain alignment with an adjacent extended cabinet height or a reduced toe-kick/grille application.

1. Cut the panels to the dimensions listed in the diagram on the next page.

2. Optional: Stain or Finish panel to desired stain or color. Be sure to closely follow the instructions provided by the manufacturer.

3. Optional: Install handles and hardware.
   NOTICE

   • The door panel must not weigh more than 20 lbs (10 kg).
   • It is important to ensure that all drilled holes are drilled to the correct depth in order to avoid splits in the wood when hardware is installed.
   • Appliance will need up to 34-1/2″ (876.3 mm) to the under side of the counter to leave room for leveling adjustments.
   • When applying an integrated panel to a unit, ensure that both sides are finished in order to prevent warping. In some installations, the panel may be visible through the glass while the door is open.

Extended Integrated Panel Dimensions


*A minimum of 1″ (25 mm) is required from the floor to the bottom of the extended integrated panel/frame for proper ventilation.

Integrated Grille – Plinth Dimensions

The 3000 series grille (plinth strip/base fascia) is fully adjustable and can be set to match your surrounding furniture dimensions. In addition to it’s adjust ability, an integrated grille may also be installed to truly provide a seamless appearance.

PREPARE AND INSTALL INTEGRATED GRILLE (PLINTH STRIP/BASE FASCIA)

1. Use the dimensions provided in the diagram to cut and shape your integrated grille (plinth strip/base fascia) panel. Recommended panel thickness is between 1/4″ (6 mm) and 3/8″ (9 mm). Height will vary from 3-5/16″ (84 mm) to 4-5/16″ (110 mm) based on your grille (plinth strip/base fascia) height.
2. Finish or stain your grille (plinth strip/base fascia) panel to match your surrounding furniture. Finish front, back and edges to prevent warping. Carefully follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for finish application and cure times.
3. Apply double sided tape to the backside of the integrated grill (plinth strip/base fascia). Use the diagram below for reference. U-Line recommends 3M™ VHB™ tape, a high strength bonding tape.
4. Remove backing paper from double sided tape.
5. Carefully align grille (plinth strip/base fascia) over integrated panel and press into position.

INTEGRATED GRILLE (PLINTH STRIP/BASE FASCIA) DIMENSIONS

Integrated Panel Installation

1. Fully open door.

2. Starting at corner, pull gasket away from door.

3. Continue to pull gasket free from gasket channel.

4. Upon removal, lay gasket down on a flat surface.

5. Align top of panel with top edge of door. Center panel on door. (For 3036/3090 models, align panel on the hinge side-edge of door.)
   NOTICE
   Due to differences in floor construction or surrounding cabinetry, the panel may not sit flush with the top of the door.

6. Secure integrated panel to door using clamps. A robust tape may also be used. U-Line recommends the use of bar clamps to secure the panel to the door. If using tape, be certain the tape will not damage panel finish upon removal.

7. Using a 7/64″ (3 mm) drill bit, drill 6 pilot holes into the wood panel 1/2″ (12 mm) deep using the holes in the door frame as a guide.
   NOTICE
   It is important to ensure that all drilled holes are drilled to the correct depth in order to avoid splits in the wood when hardwood is installed.

8. Locate 6 of the #6x 1-1/2″ (38 mm) screws provided with your unit.

9. Using a Phillips screwdriver, place one screw into each of the 6 pilot holes and screw down. Do not over tighten screws.

10. Ensure the screws sit flush against the bottom of the channel.

11. Remove clamps from door.
    NOTICE
    If panel requires additional adjustment after removing clamps, slightly loosen each screw and adjust panel as necessary. Tighten screws upon completion.

12. Starting at the corners, re-install the gasket into the gasket channel in the frame. Make sure the gasket is fully seated.
