Step 14. Hang Decorative Door Panels - GE Side by Side Refrigerators Installation Instructions Manual

STEP 14 HANG DECORATIVE DOOR PANELS - FLUSH INSTALLATION ONLY
Panels with attached brackets will mate with steel
brackets already attached to top, sides, and bottom of
refrigerator doors. Each bracket attached to the door
will have two machined screws recessed inside the door
to provide anchoring points for wood panel brackets to
install onto the doors.
1. Lift the Fresh Food door panel to hang the panel on the
fresh food door. Angle the bottom of the panel slightly
away from the fresh food door. The brackets mounted
at the top of the door panel will lay over the top of the
brackets mounted at the top of the fresh food door.
Allow the flanges of the door brackets to slide into the
slot at the top of the panel brackets and gently allow
the bottom edge of the panel to lay against the fresh
food door as it hangs freely.
2. Repeat previous step with the freezer door panel. The
brackets mounted at the top of the freezer door panel
will lay over the top of the bracket mounted on the top
of the freezer door.
3. Adjust the panels on each door by pushing it flush
against the doors. Push each panel toward the center of
the refrigerator so the panels are as close to touching
each other as possible.
4. Using supplied washer-head screws, secure panel
brackets mounted to the rear of the wooden panels to
the refrigerator door; top, side and bottom.

Each screw should be tightened until snug, and then
backed off 2-3 turns to allow for fine tuning adjustment.
NOTE: If screws are fully tightened at this stage,
further panel adjustment will not be possible.
5. Thread set screws into each of the panel brackets
attached to the doors. Hinge side brackets will have 2
set screws each, going into the door. The handle side
brackets will each have 1 set screw going into the door.
Each panel bracket has a tab that is aligned with a tab
on the door bracket. Each of these will have a set screw
threaded into them (see illustration).
