FULL OVERLAY PANEL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Verify door alignment
The door should be parallel to the sides and top of the
refrigerator. If alignment is necessary the door may be
adjusted by loosening the 2 screws which secure the
hinge adapter brackets to the door and adjusting the
door side to side. Use a 5/32” allen wrench for this pro-
cedure. (See Figure 4 below).

Step 2: Remove door
Remove the top hinge pin from the hinge with an 1/8”
allen wrench. Remove the door by angling the top of the
door outward and lifting the door off the bottom hinge.
(See detail in Figure 4).
Step 3: Remove gasket
Lay the door on its front being careful not to scratch it.
Remove the door gasket by peeling up and out of the
channel.
Step 5: Clamp panel to door
Set the overlay panel on the door front, align the edges,
and clamp together. Clamp the panel firmly but be care-
ful not to crush the foam in the door or scratch the door.
