Installation Instructions
INSTALLING THE DOOR PANEL
The ice machine is supplied without a conventional door
covering, allowing the attachment of a stainless steel door
panel or a custom panel.
NOTE: If the door swing is to be changed, it needs to be
done BEFORE attaching the door panel.
Door Panel
Finished stainless steel door panels with handles are
available from GE Appliances for attachment to the ice
machine. See Accessories on page 10.
A custom panel of wood or other material not exceeding 15
lbs can be used and must follow these guidelines:
width: 14 7/8”
height: between 29 5/8” and 30 5/8”
thickness: 5/8” to 3/4”
For Custom Panel:
1. Measure overall height of the cabinet opening where
the ice machine will be installed (floor to bottom of the
countertop edge).
2. Determine desired toekick height (bottom of door to
the floor). This can be equal to the adjacent cabinet’s
toekick height.
3. The clearance between the countertop and the top of
the ice machine should be at least 1/8”.
4. Subtract the toekick height and the clearance from the
opening height to determine the height of your custom
door panel.
5. Cut the panel to the specified width and height.
6. Determine the top of the panel. Measure and mark hole
locations.
7. Drill pilot holes on the back of the panel at your
markings. Use a drill stop to prevent drilling through the
panel.
