How to install and remove handles

For easier installation, some refrigerators may have been delivered with the han- dles off. Please see the interior of the fresh food section, or the back of your refrigerator, to locate the handle assem- bly. In case future transport of the refrig- erator is necessary, or panels need to be removed and replaced, the removal instructions have been included here for your convenience.
