3. Depending on your model and the compartment, rotate the
plastic spacer so that the curved handle mounting posts are
either at the top, bottom or to the left. See following chart.
4. Slide the screw into the handle mounting stud. Insert the
screw assembly into the center hole of the plastic spacer and
fasten it to the door panel.
5. Install the handles to the handle mounting studs so that the
setscrews are on the designated side and tighten the
setscrews.
Install Base Grille
There are two pieces to the base grille to allow for a custom fit: the
base grille itself and the skirt. The skirt can be added to the base
grille in order to extend it all the way to the floor.
1. To see whether the skirt is needed, place the base grille into
position. Do not attach the base grille to the refrigerator.
Measure the distance between the bottom of the base grille
and the floor. The gap must be a minimum of
¹⁄₂
" (1.27 cm) in
order to add the skirt.
NOTE: If the gap measures less than
¹⁄₂
" (1.27 cm), skip
steps 3 and 4 of the instructions, and install the base grille
only.
2. Remove the film from the base grille.
3. Snap the skirt onto the base grille.
4. Trim the skirt by scoring the proper “V” groove with a utility
knife. Break the skirt at the score line.
5. Using the two screws, attach the base grille assembly to the
refrigerator as shown.
NOTE: Drive in the right side screw first.
