In order to remove the decorator panels and replace with new
panels, you need to remove the handles. A T-20 Torx driver is
needed.
REMOVING THE HANDLES:
STEP 1: LOOSEN AND REMOVE THE
2 SCREWS IN THE TOP TRIM.
STEP 2: LOOSEN AND REMOVE THE
2 SCREWS IN THE BRACKET THAT
ATTACHES THE HANDLE TO THE
TOP OF THE DOOR.
STEP 3: GRIP THE HANDLE FIRMLY
AND SLIDE UPWARDS.
The keyhole slots on the Handle slide off the buttons on the
door.
STEP 4: OPEN THE DOOR AND SLIDE
OUT THE DECORATOR PANELS.
INSERTING THE DOOR PANELS:
Before inserting the decorator panels, make sure they have
been routed out in the proper areas as shown in the Use &
Care Guide. Slide in the panels to perform a trial fit before
fastening down the Handle and Top Trim.
INSTALLING THE HANDLES:
Once the panels are fitted properly, install the Handle and
Top Trim.
STEP 1: SLIDE THE KEYHOLE SLOTS
ON THE HANDLE DOWN ONTO THE
BUTTONS MOUNTED TO THE FACE
OF THE DOOR.
Slide the Handle downward until the bracket at the top of the
Handle fits flush on the top of the door.
STEP 2: REPLACE THE 2 SCREWS IN
THE BRACKET THAT ATTACHES THE
HANDLE TO THE TOP OF THE DOOR
AND TIGHTEN THE SCREWS TO 45
IN-LBS TORQUE.
CARE OF PANELS:
Clean using anti-static acrylic cleaner or a mild detergent (3%
in lukewarm water). Rinse thoroughly and blot dry with a
clean, damp cloth or chamois. (Paper towels should not be
used to wash or dry panels.) Typically-available cleaners
contain solvents, such as ammonia, that can damage or distort
the panels. Do not use!
For stainless steel panels, stainless steel cleaner is recom-
mended for cleaning purposes. Using a soft cloth, wipe the
cleaner vertically following the grain of the steel.
STEP 3: REPLACE THE TOP TRIM,
MAKING SURE IT FITS OVER THE
SIDE TRIM AND THAT THE LOCATING
TABS FIT THE INSIDE OF THE
HANDLE PROFILE.
STEP 4: REPLACE THE TOP TRIM
SCREWS AND TIGHTEN TO 30 IN-LBS
TORQUE.
