Handle Installation and Removal
Parts Included: Refrigerator door handles (2),
Freezer
drawer handle (1)
Tools Needed: ¹⁄₈" Hex key wrench
Install Door Handles
NOTE: Handle mounting setscrews are preinstalled inside
the
handle.
1. Remove the handles from the packaging inside the refrigerator.
2. Open a refrigerator door. On the opposite door, place the
handle on the shoulder screws with the setscrews facing
the
adjacent door.
3. Firmly push the handle toward the door until the handle base
is
flush against the door.
4. While holding the handle, insert the short end of the hex key
into the upper hole and slightly rotate the hex key until it is
engaged in the setscrew.
5. Using a clockwise motion tighten the setscrew just until it
begins to contact the shoulder screw. Do not fully tighten.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to fasten the lower setscrew.
7. Once both setscrews have been partially tightened as
instructed in the previous steps, fully tighten both setscrews.
IMPORTANT: When the screws feel tight, tighten them an
additional quarter-turn. The handle is not properly installed
without this extra tightening.
8. Repeat steps 2 through 6 to install the other handle onto
the
adjacent refrigerator door.
Install Drawer Handle
1. With the freezer drawer closed, place the handle on the
shoulder screws with the setscrews facing down toward
the
floor.
2. Firmly push the handle toward the drawer until the handle
base
is flush against the drawer.
3. Insert the short end of the hex key into the left-hand hole and
slightly rotate the hex key until it is engaged in the setscrew.
4. Using a left-to-right motion tighten the setscrew a quarter-turn
at a time. Repeat until the screw feels tight.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 to fasten the right-hand setscrew
to
the shoulder screw.
6. Once both setscrews have been partially tightened as
instructed in the previous steps, fully tighten both setscrews.
IMPORTANT: When the screws feel tight, tighten them an
additional quarter-turn. The handle is not properly installed
without this extra tightening.
7. Save the hex key and all instructions.
Remove the Handles
1. While holding the handle, insert the short end of the hex key
into a setscrew hole and slightly rotate the hex key until it
is
engaged in the setscrew.

at a time.
