■ Overlay panels weighing more than recommended may
cause damage to your ice maker.
■ Match wood grain direction with that of adjacent cabinets.
■ Sand panel edges to provide a smooth finish.
■ Use moisture sealer on both sides and all edges of the panel
to avoid damage from moisture.

opening and alignment are correct. Mark location of the panel
on the unit as necessary.
