Trim kits and decorator panels.

Read these instructions completely and carefully.

Before You Begin

Some models are equipped with trim kits that allow you to install door panels. You can order
pre-cut black, white, bisque or stainless steel decorator panels from GE Parts and Accessories,
800.626.2002, or you can add wood panels to match your kitchen cabinets.

Panels less than 1/4

(6 mm) thick

When installing wood panels less than 1/4

″ (6 mm) thick, you need to create a filler panel, such as 1/8″

cardboard, that will fit between the face of the door and the wood panel. If you are installing the pre-cut
decorator panels, pre-cut filler panels are included in the kit. The combined thickness of the decorator
or wood panel and the filler panel should be 1/4

″ (6 mm).
