Install Handles
NOTE:
Handle mounting setscrews are preinstalled inside the
handle.
1.
Remove the handles from the packaging inside the
refrigerator, and place them on a soft surface.
2.
Open a refrigerator compartment door. On the closed door,
place a handle onto the shoulder screws so that the
setscrews are 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 7 to install the other handle onto the
adjacent refrigerator door.
9.
With the drawer(s) closed, place the handle onto the shoulder
screws so that the setscrews are facing down toward the
floor.
10.
Firmly push the handle toward the drawer until the handle
base is flush against the drawer.
11.
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.
12.
Using a left to right motion tighten the setscrew a quarter-turn
at a time just until it begins to contact the shoulder screw. Do
not fully tighten.
13.
Repeat steps 11 and 12 to fasten the right-hand setscrew to
the shoulder screw.
14.
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.
15.
For some models, repeat steps 9 through 14 to install a
handle on the second drawer.
16.
Save the hex key and all instructions.
