There may be an occasion when you will need to remove the 
factory-installed trim kit, such as moving the refrigerator to a new 
home or installing custom-made decorator panels. Please read 
all instructions carefully before removing the trim kit and 
decorator panels.

■

Door must be removed from refrigerator before removing 
handle. 

■

Top trim must be removed from refrigerator before removing 
door panel.

Remove the refrigerator handle:

■

Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove top door cap.

■

Tap bottom edge of refrigerator door handle upward with 
a rubber mallet.

■

Handle will slide up approximately 

³⁄₄ in. (19.05 mm) and 

release from door.

Remove the door panel:

■

Slide out decorator panel and filler board.

■

Store panel and filler board carefully to prevent 
scratching. 

Replace the refrigerator door panel:

■

Carefully slide the 

¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm), maximum thickness, 

decorator panel in grooves provided by bottom door cap 
and side trim.

■

Slide the filler board into place behind the decorator 
panel, if necessary.

Attach the handle and trim.

Reinstall refrigerator door. 

 You do not need to remove the freezer drawer to remove 

or replace the decorator panel. 

Pull freezer drawer out to access handle screws.

Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove handle screws and lift off 
handle.

Slide decorator panel and filler board up through handle 
opening.

Replace decorator panels by reversing directions.

Clean panels with stainless steel cleaner and polish or mild 
soap and water with a clean, soft, damp cloth.

Rinse panels thoroughly and blot dry using a dry, soft cloth or 
chamois.

 Do not use paper towels or cleaners which contain 

solvents such as ammonia. They can damage the surface of 
the panels.

If you plan to install custom wood decorator panels, you will need 
to create the panels yourself or consult your cabinetmaker or 
carpenter. See dimensional drawings for wood panel inserts.

You can create a custom flat panel a maximum of 

¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) 

thick to replace your decorator panels. Flat wood panels less 
than 

¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) thick are not recommended.

A raised panel design can be created by screwing or gluing wood 
panels to 

¹⁄₄ in. (6.35 mm) backing or by using ³⁄₄ in. (19.05 mm) 

stock with routed edges. Allow 2

¹⁄₂ in. (6.35 cm) minimum 

clearance between raised edge of panel and handle.

Weight requirements for raised panel inserts:

■

Refrigerator door panel should not exceed 30 lbs. (14 kg).

■

Freezer drawer panels should not exceed 15 lbs. (7 kg) 
combined weight.
