Installing Backer Panels:
Remove the door handle or trim piece on overlay models. A magnetic backed molding hides the handle or overlay trim screws. Use the
adhesive side of the packaging tape on the magnetic backed molding to pull it away from door (Fig. 8a). Remove the screws with a
phillips screwdriver (Fig. 8b). Slide the backer panel into position. The backer panel needs to be under the trim. Install the handle.
Replace the molding in the channel, and reset the magnetic backed molding. To install the backer panel on the grille remove the screws
on the top and bottom of the upper cover (Fig 8c). DO NOT REMOVE the foam. Slide the backer panel into place and replace screws
(Fig 8d). If the thickness of the backer panel is less than a 1/4", back it up with a sheet of shim material to obtain a 1/4" thickness.
Cardboard is recommended for Stainless Steel application.
For panel size refer to Fig. 10.
