Read these instructions completely and carefully.
Before You Begin
Some models are equipped with trim kits that allow you to install door panels.
Panels less than 6 mm thick
When installing wood panels less than 6 mm thick, you need to create a filler panel, such as 3 mm 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 6 mm.
For Built-In Style models

A raised panel design screwed or glued to a 6 mm thick backing, or a 19 mm routed board can be used.
The raised portion of the panel must be fabricated to permit clearances of at least 5.1 cm from the handle
side for fingertip clearance.
Panels thicker than 6mm, up to 19 mm max, will require that the outer 8 mm of panel perimeter be no thicker
than 6 mm.
