Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the screws that hold each handle in place.

Lift off handle. Make sure you keep screws for reattaching handles.

2.Remove the door panels:

Open refrigerator or freezer door.

Slide out decorator panel and filler board.

Repeat process for other panels and filler boards.

Store panel and filler boards to prevent scratching.

Slide the ¹⁄₈" (3.18 mm) decorator panel into place behind the side trim.

Push the filler board into place behind the decorator panel.

Repeat process for other panels and filler boards.

2.Attach the handles:

NOTE: Freezer door handle is notched to fit around the dispenser panel.

Align the top of the refrigerator or freezer handle flush with the top trim. Fasten the handle to the refrigerator or freezer door with the screws, using a Phillips screwdriver.

Care for Decorator Panels

1.Clean panels with an anti-static cleaner (available in electronics or computer departments) or mild soap and water with a clean, soft, damp cloth.

2.Rinse panels thoroughly and blot dry using a dry, soft cloth or chamois.

NOTE: Do not use paper towels or cleaners which contain solvents such as ammonia. They can damage the surface of the panels.

3.If small scratches should appear on the panels, they may be filled using an automotive paste wax (not a cleaner/wax combination). Apply wax sparingly and buff lightly with a clean, soft cloth using a circular motion.
