Flush Inset Panels
Install the handle hardware before inserting the panel.

of small, one-piece knobs is not recommended. If you use
screws with thick heads, you will need to countersink the
screws into the backer panel before sliding the assembly
into place.
Slide the panel into the frame on the door. With the panel
in position, replace the frame end. Make sure the panel is
inserted completely into the channel for proper fit and
alignment.
To reinstall the trim molding on side-by-side models and
the upper door for over-and-under models, insert the top
of the trim molding into the grooves at the top of the door
and work downward, snapping the trim molding into the
clips on the frame.
For the drawer on over-and-under models, start at one
end and move towards the opposite end, snapping the
trim molding into the clips on the frame.
