Framed Models
Framed models can accept either a framed panel or a custom
decorator panel. If the thickness of the framed panel to be
installed is less than
1
⁄
4
" (0.6 cm), a sheet of shim material to build
the total thickness to
1
⁄
4
" (0.6 cm) must be used. Likewise, if the
framed panel is thicker than
1
⁄
4
" (0.6 cm), you must rout an edge
around the panel to ensure the panel fits properly. This is illus-
trated in Figures 6 and 7.

Integrating the Refrigerator into Kitchen Cabinetry
If the customer has chosen a stainless steel model, it will arrive complete with wrapped stainless steel doors and stainless steel towel bar
handles. You will not have to install panels. Jade offers 42" and 48" dispenser and nondispenser models with the stainless steel design.
Framed or overlay models require the installation of custom or decorative panels to give the refrigerator the personalized look the
consumer has chosen for the kitchen. Framed models are shipped with full-length extended handles (see below). Overlay models are
designed to use the custom hardware the consumer has chosen separately; handles are not included with this type of product.
