Panel Installation

DOOR PANEL INSTALLATION

Typical panel dimensions are based on an 84" (2134) finished height with 18 " (3) reveals. Placement of the template must be adjusted for panels exceeding the typical dimensions.

For tall models, the door panel should be installed first, followed by the upper, then lower drawer panel.

Place the panel face down on a protected work surface. Position the template flush with the top and sides of the panel. Verify the correct side of the template is being used, then mark and drill holes. Refer to the illustration below.

For tall models, align the notch in the template with the bottom of the door panel, then mark and drill holes. Refer to the illustration below.

Use a Torx drive to partially insert a #8 x 1/2" screw into the second hole from the top on each side of the panel. The screws should be approximately 3/16" (4) proud of the panel and will support the weight of the panel during installation.

Align the support screws on the back of the panel with the slotted holes on both door mounting brackets. Refer to the illustration below. Opening the door slightly may help with alignment. Once the panel is supported by the screws, partially insert a #8 x 1/2" screw into the second hole from the bottom on each side of the panel, but do not tighten.

CAUTION

As reveals between cabinetry and the unit decrease, severe finger pinching can occur while the door is closing.
