Style 2: Custom Overlay Drawer Panels

If you plan to install custom wood panels, you will need to create
the panels yourself or consult a qualified cabinetmaker or
carpenter. See dimension drawings for panel specifications.
IMPORTANT:
The thickness of the overlay panels must be ³⁄₄"
(19.05 mm).
Each overlay panel must not weigh more than 10 lbs
(4.5 kg).
Overlay panels weighing more than recommended may
damage the refrigerator drawers.
Do not exceed the height dimension for the overlay
panels. Panels that exceed the height dimension may
damage the refrigerator drawers, cabinets or countertop.
The width of the overlay panels may vary according to the
width of the cabinet opening.
