For Stainless Panels:

•Press foam pads against steel doors to temporarily reduce thickness.

•Crimp top and bottom edges of corrugated.

•Slide corrugated onto doors, leave about

1/4" gap between edge of corrugated and hinge side.

Note: Panels have a protective plastic covering. Peel away just enough to allow panel to slide into trim and to clear handle mounting screws. The plastic covering will keep the panels clean during the installation process.

•Slide panels into the door trim. Leave about 4" of the panel exposed to allow room to install the handle

extrusion.

Be sure to maintain 1/4" gap between corrugated and hinge side trim.

•Place a spacer ring over each of the 4 screw holes on the extrusion. Use tape to hold in place.

•Place extrusion onto back side of panel. Use a pencil to punch hole in tape over spacer rings and align with screw holes.

•Install 4 mounting screws through the extrusion and panel.

•Screw handle to panel, starting at the top. Moving down the handle, drive each screw partially into the standoff, alternating back to the top until the handle is tight against the panel.

•Slide the assembly into the door frame until the extrusion fits firmly against the steel door.

•Reinstall original screws into the door extrusion.

Raised Panel on 1/4" Thick Backing:

A raised panel design secured to a 1/4" thick backing (screwed or glued) can be used with this handle kit.

•Cut the 1/4" thick panels to size.

•Fabricate the raised panel to allow 1-1/4" clearance from the hinge side to avoid striking adjacent cabinetry.

•Allow 5/16" clearance at the top, bottom and handle side edges to allow for the trim flange.

•Total thickness should not exceed 3/4".

•Countertops adjacent to the refrigerator installation should be mitered 45°.

Note: Longer screws, obtained locally, will be required to
