INSTALLING DOOR HANDLES

Door Handle Mounting Instructions for Frigidaire Gallery®

1Remove handles from carton and any other protective packaging.

2Position fresh food handle end over upper and lower pre-installed shoulder bolts (A) that are fastened into door, ensuring the holes for the set screws are facing towards the opposite door.

3While holding handle firmly against door, fasten upper and lower Allen set screws (B) with supplied Allen wrench.

4Repeat steps 2 and 3 to install opposite handle. Ensure the holes for the set screws are facing towards the first door.

5Position freezer handle end over left and right pre-installed handle mounts that are fastened to the door, ensuring the holes for the set screws are facing down.

6While holding handle firmly against door, loosely tighten far right Allen set screw (B) with supplied Allen wrench until there is no gap between handle and door.

7Still holding the handle firmly to the door, firmly tighten far left Allen set screw (B) with supplied Allen wrench.

8Return to the far right Allen set screw (B) and firmly tighten with supplied Allen wrench.

NOTE

All set screws should be tightened so the screw is below the surface of the handle. The handles should be drawn tight to freezer and refrigerator doors with no gaps. Opening the opposite door while tightening the Allen screw makes installation easier.

The door handle may loosen over time or if it was installed improperly. If this happens, tighten the set screws on the handles.
