INSTALLING A DOOR FRAME TO THE GLASS DOOR

The door frame can be mounted to the glass door with the glass door on or off the unit. The door handle needs to
be mounted to the door frame before the frame is mounted to the glass door.
Glass Door On the Unit
1.
Lay the unit on its back.
2.
Open the glass door 180 degrees and support the glass door during installation.
3.
Pull the door gasket back along the top and bottom of the glass door to expose the mounting holes for the
door frame. There are twelve (12) total mounting holes on the door - four (4) on each side and two (2) on the
top and bottom of the door. Screws will be mounted around the outside diameter of the door on the gasket
side.
4.
Line up the door frame that is to be mounted to the unit and mark the hole locations on the door frame. Drill
1/8" pilot holes, 1/4" deep to aid during mounting of the door frame.
5.
Recommended screws to use to mount the door frame are 1 1/4" long wood screws.
6.
After installing the mounting screws, press the door gasket back into the gasket retainer. Make sure the gasket
is seated into the corners to retain proper door gasket seal.
Glass Door Off the Unit
1.
Remove the four (4) hinge bolts from the door- two (2) at the top and two (2) at the bottom of the door. Retain
the two (2) hinge spacers. One (1) at the top and one (1) at the bottom of the door.
2.
Lay the glass door on a surface that will protect the door frame during assembly of the frame to the glass door.
3.
Complete Steps 3 through 6 as listed in the above section "Glass Door On the Unit".
4.
Mount the door to the unit using the hinge spacers and hinge bolts that were removed when taking the glass
door off the unit.
