PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To improve a productivity by concurrently using the major part of the mold of a panel, on which an illuminator is mounted, by a method wherein the mold members of a top mold and of a bottom mold corresponding to the mounting regions for mounting the illuminator are made to be exchangeable in response to the shape part of the mounting part of the illuminator. SOLUTION: A synthetic resin cabnet panel, to which an illuminator is mounted, is molded by a mold 6 consisting of a top mold 4 and a bottom mold 5. Mold members 4a and 5a are inserted from the back surface sides 4b and 5b of the top mold 4 and of the bottom mold 5 to the top mold 4 and the bottom mold 5 corresponding to the mounting regions for mounting an electric lamp. The surface shapes of the mold members 4a and 5a are fitted to the shape of the mounting part of the electric lamp. When the layout change from the specification of a cabinet with an electric lamp to that of a cabnet with a fluorescent lamp is intended, mold members for the fluorescent lamp are inserted after the dismounting of the mold members 4a and 5a to the top mold 4 and the bottom mold 5 corresponding to the mounting regions of the fluorescent lamp. The surface shapes of the mold members are fitted to the shape of the mounting part of the fluorescent lamp.
