Trim kits and decorator panels.
For CustomStyle 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 or white 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).
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" (51 mm)
from the handle side for fingertip clearance.
