Inserting the Door Panel
Tools required: Phillips Head Screwdriver
The refrigerator door is designed to accept an optional
decorative panel of your choice. The panel should be
no more than 1/4" thick and be 23%" wide x 30%" tall
with the corners chamfered 3/8".
It takes two people to do this job.
1. First remove the door. Remove the upper hinge pin
and, tilting the door slightly forward, lift the door
off the lower hinge pin. Take care not to pull the
top of the gasket.
2. Remove the two screws on each side of the bottom
section of the door.
3. Carefully pull the magnetic gasket out of the slot on
the bottom section of the door trim across the
bottom. Pull from the bottom surface up and out,
making sure the trim is free from both comers. You
may need to pull firmly on the trim if it does not
easily separate from the foam inside the door.
4. Slide your new panel into the slot provided on the
door frame. If the panel thickness is somewhat
thinner than 1/4", a piece of cardboard can be
inserted behind the panel for proper spacing.

Attaching the Door Handle

Tools required: Phillips Head Screwdriver
The door handle, packed inside the refrigerator, can
be mounted on the top or the side of the refrigerator
door according to your preference.
1. Place the handle on either the side or the top
outside surface of the door. Push gently inward
toward the door and the handle will snap into place.
2. Using the two screws provided, attach the
handle to the door frame by tightening the screws
until the tips of the screws touch the backside of
the door frame.
5. Replace the bottom section of the door. Be sure that
the panel lines up properly with the slots on the
interior of the bottom section. Secure the bottom
with the screws on either side. Tighten down one
side at a time just until the bottom is secure before
reinserting the gasket. Doing this will keep the
bottom from falling out.
6. Starting with the corner on one side, push down
from the top surface of the gasket into the slot on the
bottom section. Make sure that the arrows are aligned.
Run your finger across the gasket. At the comer,
push back a little the other way, then push down.
7. Set the door in place on the lower hinge pin, and
insert the upper hinge pin as before. Finish
tightening both screws, making sure not to over-
tighten and strip the threads of the screws.

Removing the Cabinet Door

Tools required: 1/8" Allen Wrench and Pliers
1. Support the side opposite the hinge so that the door
will not drop downward.
2. Remove the top hinge pin by turning
counterclockwise. Turn it several times until it is
loose but not stripped.
3. Gently grasp the top of the top hinge pin with the
pliers, taking care not to damage the screw threads,
and pull it free.
4. Set the top hinge pin aside for reassembly later.
