⁵⁄₁₆" wrench to turn the screw. To raise the refrigerator

door, turn the screw to the right. To lower the door, turn the
screw to the left.

necessary, continue to turn the alignment screw until the
doors are aligned.

Handle Installation and Removal

PARTS INCLUDED: Door handles (2),

¹⁄₈" hex key, spare

setscrew(s)

To Install the Handles:

NOTE: The handle mounting setscrews are preinstalled in the
handle.
1. Remove the handles, which are packed inside the refrigerator.

NOTE: To avoid scratching the finish, place the handles on a
towel or other soft surface.

2. Open the freezer door. On the refrigerator door, place the

handle on the shoulder screws with the setscrews facing the
freezer.

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 until it begins

to contact the shoulder screw.

6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to begin fastening the lower setscrew.
7. Once both setscrews have been partially tightened as outlined

in the previous steps, fully tighten both the upper and lower
setscrews.
IMPORTANT: When the screws feel tight, tighten them an
additional quarter-turn. The handle is not properly installed
without this extra tightening.

8. Open the refrigerator door and close the freezer door. Repeat

steps 2 through 7 to install the other handle onto the freezer
door with the setscrews facing the refrigerator.

9. Save the hex key and all instructions.

To Remove the Handles:

1. While holding the handle, insert the short end of the hex key

into the lower setscrew hole and slightly rotate the hex key
until it is engaged in the setscrew.

2. Using a counterclockwise motion, loosen the setscrew a

quarter-turn at a time.

3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the upper setscrew. Gently pull the

handle away from the door.

4. If necessary, use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the shoulder

screws from the door.
