Panel Installation
DOOR PANEL INSTALLATION
Typical panel dimensions are based on a 2134 mm finished
height with 3 mm reveals. Template placement must be
adjusted for panels exceeding 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 the T-20 torx drive provided, to partially insert a #8 x 13
mm screw into the second hole from the top on each side of
the panel. The screws should be approximately 4 mm 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. Opening
the door slightly may help with alignment. Once the panel
is supported by the screws, partially insert a #8 x 13 mm
screw into the second hole from the bottom on each side of
the panel, but do not tighten.
CAUTION
As the reveal between cabinets and the unit decreases,
the potential exists for severe finger pinching if fingers
are placed in the opening when the door is closing.
