Installation Instructions

Removing Existing Door

1. Remove the door shelves by first pulling shelves up at 

a 45° angle, then straight out.

2. Remove top hinge screw pin (Phillips screwdriver). 

Remove the door by tilting forward and lifting off the 
bottom hinge pin.

3. Pull door gasket out of the groove (top edge of door 

only). Start in the middle and pull outward, moving 
toward the edge (see 

Figure 17

). This may take some 

force.

4. Remove the two screws located on both sides of the 

handle.

5. Remove the handle and discard. (This handle will be 

replaced with the Overlay Handle included in the Full 
Overlay Door Panel Kit.)

6. Slide the existing door panel out of the doorframe.

Attaching the Full Overlay Panel

1. Place and tape the existing door panel on the back of 

the overlay panel (see 

Figure 19

) and drill holes 

through both panels according to 

Figure 20

. Remove 

tape adjoining the panels and enlarge the six holes in 
the steel (black/white vinyl color) panel using a 0.201" 
(#7) drill.

2. If a user-supplied cabinet handle will be used, attach its 

hardware to the overlay panel at this time.
