models
Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Before You Begin
Some models are equipped with trim kits that allow you to install door panels. You can order
pre-cut black, white, bisque or stainless steel decorator panels from GE Parts and Accessories,
800.626.2002, or you can add wood panels to match your kitchen cabinets.
Panels less than 1/4 (6 mm) thick
When installing wood panels less than 1/4 (6 mm) thick, you need to create a filler panel, such as
1/8 cardboard, that will fit between the face of the door and the wood panel. If you are installing
the pre-cut decorator panels, pre-cut filler panels are included in the kit. The combined thickness
of the decorator or wood panel and the filler panel should be 1/4 (6 mm).
Panels 1/4 thick or less
3/4 (19 mm) or Raised Panel
A raised panel design screwed or glued to a 1/4 (6 mm) thick backing, or a 3/4 (19 mm) routed board
can be used. The raised portion of the panel must be fabricated to permit clearances of at least 2 (5.1 cm)
from the handle side for fingertip clearance.
Panels thicker than 1/4 (6 mm), up to 3/4 (19 mm) max, will require that the outer 5/16 (8 mm) of
panel perimeter be no thicker than 1/4 (6 mm).
