Custom overlay panels allow you to blend the exterior of your
refrigerator into the overall kitchen décor and to use custom
handles for additional design flexibility.
The custom panels must have backer panels attached in order
to mount them to the refrigerator. It is most common to work with
three panels, as shown in the following graphic: a decorative
overlay panel, a ¹/₈" (3.18 mm) spacer panel or spacer strips
and a ¹/₄" (6.35 mm) backer panel.

In some cases, your cabinet manufacturer may choose to work
with one panel routed for the different dimensions. Follow these
panel dimension and placement instructions to be sure that the
custom overlay panels will fit properly.
IMPORTANT:
■ For 36" (91.4 cm) single-door models, the refrigerator door
overlay panel cannot exceed 50 lbs (23 kg) and the freezer
drawer overlay panel cannot exceed 20 lbs (9.1 kg).
■
For 36" (91.4 cm) and 42" (106.7 cm) French-door models,
the refrigerator door overlay panel cannot exceed 30 lbs
(13.5 kg) and the freezer drawer overlay panel cannot exceed
25 lbs (11.4 kg).
■ The weight of the top grille overlay panel cannot exceed
10 lbs (4.5 kg) for both models.
To minimize panel weight, you may use 2" (5.08 cm) spacer
strips around the perimeter in place of full-sheet solid spacer
panels. The spacer strips must be set in at least 1" (2.54 cm)
from the top, bottom and side edges of the backer panel. If
you use spacer strips, it is also recommended that you use two
2" (5.08 cm) strips horizontally centered for added support.
