Custom 1/4'' Door Panel Insert

A

Door Panel Preparation

A custom door panel can be inserted into the doorframe.
Custom door panels can be flat or raised, as long as the
maximum panel thickness where inserted into the door
reveal (channel) is 1/4"-thick. For raised panels, the depth
of the reveal is 1/4" on all four sides.

IMPORTANT

Raised panels will reduce the door’s 90° swing/zero
clearance if the unit is installed next to a wall or similar
type of structure.

For 2175 models cut the panel insert to the following
dimensions.

Custom 1/4" Dimensions:

Width: 23-1/32"
Height: 27-11/16"

For 2115 & CLR2160 models cut the panel insert to the
following dimensions.

Custom 1/4" Dimensions:

Width: 14-1/32"
Height: 27-11/16"

The door panel must not weigh more than 20 lbs.

Checking Door Alignment

The unit’s door is aligned at the factory before shipment.
However, its alignment could have been disturbed during
shipment or during door panel installation.

IMPORTANT

Properly aligned, the door should be 1/8" below the top of
the unit’s cabinet, NOT flush with the top (see

Figure 4

).
