Insert the Panels

Carefully push the door panels into the slots. Make sure that the top freezer panel is put in with the cut-out at the upper left hand corner. When inserting the fresh food panel make sure the cut-out is at the upper right hand corner.

Replace the Door Handle and Trim

Reinstall the full length handle and top handle cap. Loosely screw the handle onto the door. Place the cap on the top of the handle and loosely screw down the cap. Lift the handle up and tighten the top screw on the handle. Then tighten the handle cap screw so that the cap and handle fit flush. Tighten all the screws.

The fresh food panel is installed the same way.

3/4(19 mm) or Raised Panel

A raised panel design screwed or glued to a 1/4″ (6 mm) thick backing, or a 3/4″ (19 mm) routed board can be used. The raised portion of the panel must be fabricated to permit clearances of at least 2″ (51 mm) from the handle side for fingertip clearance and 11/4″ (32 mm) from the hinge side to avoid striking adjacent cabinetry.
