OVERLAY DOOR PANEL INSTALLATION
If you purchased an overlay panel model, your
unit is equipped with articulated hinges to allow
fully integrated built-in installations. Custom panel
thicknesses of
5
⁄
" (15 mm) and
8
accommodated.
CAUTION
!
It is important to use the factory provided grille that
came with the product to assure proper air flow is
maintained through the condenser. The use of a
custom grille is not recommended and will void the
warranty.
WARNING
!
Overlay panel models are designed for use with
built-in installations only. Use in freestanding
installations could result in personal injury.
Step 1: Removing the Door
With a phillips screwdriver remove the screw and
"P" clamp from the bottom of the door near the
hinge. See Figure 11b.
Disconnect the door wire harness by pressing and
holding down the locking tab on the wire connector
and pulling the connector apart. See Figure 12.
Open the door and loosen the screws holding the
hinges to the cabinet (2 at the top and 2 at the bot-
tom hinge). Do not remove the screws but loosen
them enough so the hinges can be slipped off of the
screws when sliding the door to the side.
WARNING
!
The articulated hinges have many pinch points.
Carefully close / collapse the hinges as soon as
the door is removed from the cabinet.
With a helper, and being careful not to scratch the
cabinet or the door, slide the door to the side about
1
⁄
inch and remove the hinges and door from the
2
unit.
