Inserting the Door Panels
1. Loosen the Top Trim on the freezer and fresh food doors.
• Using a T-20 Torx driver, loosen the two screws attaching the Top
Trim about 6 mm (1/4").
2. Insert the panels.
Top freezer panel and fresh food panel
• Lift the Top Trim up 6 mm (1/4") and carefully push the top freezer
panel in until it slides into the slot behind the door handle. Push the
filler panel (required with some door panels) in behind the decorator
panel. Repeat for fresh food panel.
Bottom freezer panel
• Carefully push the panel in until it slides into the slot behind the
door handle. Push the filler panel (required with some door panels)
in behind the decorator panel.
3. Tighten the two screws on the Top Trim to 30 in-lbs torque.
4. Install the Side Trim. These pieces are tucked inside the fresh food
door handle.
Do not remove the protective film on the outside of the Side Trim
until the Side Trim is installed.
• Fit the bottom of the Side Trim under the Bottom Trim as illustrated.
• Hold the Side Trim against the front face of the decorator panels and
fit the Side Trim under the Top Trim. Make sure the Side Trim is
fitted correctly and that you are satisfied with the appearance of all
the parts before pulling the blue tape liner.
5. Secure the Side Trim.
• Place one hand between the two blue pieces of tape liner and hold
the Side Trim firmly against the panels and the side of the door.
• Pull the top blue tape liner up about 8 mm (3"), pressing the trim
with your hand as the adhesive is exposed to the door. Then pull the
bottom blue tape liner down about 8 mm (3"). Follow the tape with
your hand, pressing the trim adhesive against the door.
• Continue pulling the tape liner loose, alternating between the top and
bottom and pressing the Side Trim against the door.
