Panels

The panels from model 590 will not fit model BI-48SD or BI-48SID because the dispenser is in a different location.

  • Side panels are different and cannot be reused.
  • If unit has a panel grille, it may be able to be reused. Refer to Grille Panel for more information.
  • If the original unit had a reduced height grille (to reduce overall unit height to 83") or an extended grille (to increase overall height above 84"), order a new reduced height or extended grille. See Classic Series Grille Height Options.
