Integrated Panel Dimensions

Metric measurements rounded and optimized.

INTEGRATED FRAME

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 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.

HANDLELESS INTEGRATED FRAME

The following procedure is designed to provide a finished, handleless frame for an 18" (45 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 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 frame solution wherein the size of the frame 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 frame 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 frame with insert must not weigh more than 20 lbs (10 kg).

1. Prepare the insert(s) that will back up the handleless design. Wooden Insert - Cut 1/8" (3 mm) thick wooden insert(s) to the appropriate dimensions below.

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

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 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 manufacturer.
3. Optional: Install handles and hardware.
