Install Base Grille - Jenn-Air JF36NXFXDE Installation Manual

Complete Panel Installation
1. Use the installation block to measure the gaps between the
panels and adjacent cabinets.
■ Custom wood overlay panels may be made with a
3/8" (0.95 cm) or 1/8" (0.32 cm) gap between the panel and
cabinets and a 1/8" (0.32 cm) gap between the freezer and
refrigerator door(s) and the door(s) and top grille.
■ All stainless steel panel kits require a 3/8" (0.95 cm) gap
between the panel and the cabinets and a 1/8" (0.32 cm)
gap between the freezer and refrigerator door(s), and the
door(s) and top grille.

IMPORTANT: If adjustments are needed, adjust the panel, not
the door. Adjust left to right in the mounting bracket before
using the pins to adjust the panel up and down or at an angle.
■ Slide the panel from side to side in the keyhole slot.
■ Use a 5/32" hex key to raise or lower the adjustment pins
which allows the door panel to swivel.

Install Base Grille

There are two pieces to the base grille to allow for a custom fit: the
base grille itself and the skirt. The skirt can be added to the base
grille in order to extend it all the way to the floor.
1. To see whether the skirt is needed, place the base grille into
position. Do not attach the base grille to the refrigerator.
Measure the distance between the bottom of the base grille
and the floor. The gap must be a minimum of 1/2" (1.27 cm) in
order to add the skirt.
NOTE: If the gap measures less than 1/2" (1.27 cm), skip steps
3 and 4 of the instructions, and install the base grille only.
2. Remove the film from the base grille.
3. Snap the skirt onto the base grille.
