Trim Removal (Full-Length Trim models only)
In some models, the refrigerator door has a full length trim piece which continues from the bottom of the handle to the bottom of the door. The top of the trim fits into the base of the handle. An adhesive "trim lock" is positioned about half- way down. The bottom of the trim is held in place by either an adhesive trim lock, or a trim lock with two prongs inserted into a hole on the face of the door. Remove the trim by gently pulling the trim lock areas out and away from the door. When the trim is free from the door, gently pull the trim down and away from the base of the handle.
