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 integrated panel that seamlesslyintegrates 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.

HANDLELESS INTEGRATED DOOR PANEL

The following procedure is designed to provide a finished, handleless solid panel for an 15″ (381 mm) door that seamlessly integrates with its surrounding cabinetry.

NOTE: Many cabinet manufacturers provide a ready solution for a handleless, integrated design that can be easily applied to your 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 panel to the dimensions below. For details, see the drawings on the next page.
    Main panel width| Main panel height
    ---|---
    14-15/16″ (379 mm)| 28-13/16″ (732 mm)
  2. Create the top design for the handleless 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 handleless design. Wooden Insert – Cut 1/8″ (3 mm) thick wooden insert(s) to the dimensions below.
    Wooden insert width| Wooden insert height
    ---|---
    14-15/16″ (379 mm)| 3-1/2″ (89 mm)

Wooden insert width

  1. Optional: Stain or finish panel and wooden insert to desired stain or color. Be sure to closely follow theinstructions provided by the manufacturer.
    NOTICE
    If finishing panel or wooden insert, all sides must be finished to prevent warping.

  2. Attach the insert to the panel. Wood glue or equivalent adhesive should be used to attach insert to panel.

EXTENDED 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 panel that seamlessly integrates with surrounding cabinetry.

Panel Preparation

  1. Cut the panels to the dimensions listed in the appropriate 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 manufacture.
  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.
