Door Handle Mounting
Instructions
1 Remove handles from carton
and any other protective
packaging.
2 Position fresh food handle
end caps over upper and
lower pre-installed shoulder
bolts (A) that are fastened
into door, ensuring the holes
for the set screws are facing
towards the opposite door.
3 While holding handle firmly
against door, fasten upper
and lower Allen set screws (B)
with supplied Allen wrench.
4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 to install
opposite handle. Ensure the
holes for the set screws are
facing towards the first door.
5 Position freezer handle end
caps over left and right pre-
installed shoulder bolts (A)
that are fastened to the door,
ensuring the holes for the set
screws are facing down.
6 While holding handle firmly
against door, loosely tighten
right Allen set screw (B)
with supplied Allen wrench
until there is no gap
between handle and door.
7 Still holding the handle firmly
to the door, firmly tighten
left Allen set screw (B) with
supplied Allen wrench.
8 Return to the right Allen set
screw (B) and firmly tighten
with supplied Allen wrench.
NOTE
All set screws should be tightened so the screw is below the surface of the handle.
The handles should be drawn tight to freezer and refrigerator doors with no gaps.
Opening the opposite door while tightening the Allen screw makes installation
easier.
The door handle may loosen over time or if it was installed improperly. If this hap-
pens, tighten the set screws on the handles.
