2. Drill a ³⁄₁₆" (4.76 mm) hole at that location, then measure up
from the bottom hole to determine the location of the second
hole. Countersink both holes on the inside of the panel, ¹⁄₄"
(6.35 mm) deep and ⁵⁄₈" (1.58 cm) diameter for screw head
clearance.
3. Install two mounting studs to the custom panel using the
screws provided. Make sure the head of the screw is flush
with the panel.
4. Install handle to handle mounting studs and tighten the
setscrews. Some adjustments of the handle mounting studs
may be required to allow the handle to fit over both mounting
studs.
NOTE: For products with one refrigerator door, the setscrew
should face the hinge side of the door. For products with two
refrigerator doors, the setscrews should face the center of the
product.
5. If you have two refrigerator doors or a side-by-side freezer
door, repeat steps 1 through 4 to install the other handle.
