Install the Refrigerator Handle(s)
IMPORTANT:
■■ Verify panel dimensions before drilling any holes.
■■ For model specific hole locations and the spacing requirements of NOIR handle mounting, refer Figure 1 and Table 1.
NOTE: Figure 1 represents a Side by Side (left) freezer panel, a French door (left) refrigerator panel, a bottom mount left swing refrigerator panel, and column refrigerator/freezer panel. Mirror the hole pattern on the opposite door panel as required.
1.Measure ‘A’ from the bottom of the panel, measure ‘B’ from side of panel. Mark the hole locations as shown in
Figure 1. Refer to Table 1 for ‘A’ and ‘B’ dimension based on the panel configuration.
2.Clearance is required for the handle fasteners on the backside of the panel. Flip the panel over to reveal the backside of the panel. Using a 3/4" forstner bit, drill a 9/32"
(7 mm) deep counterbore at the top and bottom hole locations as shown in Figure 2 - Detail X.
3.Drill a 11/32" (8.2 mm) holes at the top and bottom locations shown in Figure 2 - Detail X.
4.Using a 3/4" forstner bit, drill a 7/16" (11.2 mm) deep counterbore at the middle three locations shown in Figure 2 - Detail Y.
5.Drill a 1/4" (6.2 mm) hole at the middle three locations as shown in Figure 2 - Detail Y.
NOTE: Confirm hole depth by temporarily placing fastener into the hole.
6.Place the handle on the front of the panel. Using Torx T30 screwdriver, secure the handle to panel by tightening the two 1/4" screws on handle ends. Recommended screw torque is 28 lb-in. Fasten three #8-32 nuts to the middle three locations. Nuts should be snug.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Do not use impact driver.
7.If you have two refrigerator doors or a side-by-side doors, repeat steps 1 through 6 to install the other handle.

Install the Freezer Drawer Handle
IMPORTANT:
■■ Verify panel dimensions before drilling any holes.
■■ Goal of Dimension C and D is to center the handle on the panel. ■■ Verify before drilling that the hole pattern is at center.
■■ For model specific hole locations and the spacing requirements of NOIR handle mounting, refer Figure 3 and
Table 2 (36" Bottom Mount/French Door Bottom Mount Models), Figure 4 and Table 3 (42" French Door Bottom Mount Models). The horizontal position of the handle is dependant on the panel reveal.
1.Measure ‘C’ (36" Bottom Mount) or ‘D’ (42" French Door) from the side of panel and mark the hole locations as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4. Refer Table 2 and Figure 3 (for 36" Bottom Mount) or Table 3 and Figure 4 (for 36" Bottom Mount/French Door Bottom Mount Models) depending on panel configuration.
2.Clearance is required for the handle fasteners on the backside of the panel. Flip the panel over to reveal the backside of the panel. Using a 3/4" forstner bit, drill a 9/32" (7 mm) deep counterbore at the left and right hole locations as shown in Figure 5 - Detail X.
3.Drill a 11/32" (8.2 mm) hole at the left and right locations as shown in Figure 5 - Detail X.
4.Using a 3/4" forstner bit, drill a 7/16" (11.2 mm) deep counterbore at the middle three locations as shown in Figure 5 - Detail Y.
5.Drill a 1/4" (6.2 mm) hole at the middle three locations as shown in Figure 5 - Detail Y. NOTE: Confirm hole depth by temporarily placing fastener into the hole.
6.Place the handle on the front of the panel. Using Torx T30 screwdriver, secure the handle to panel by tightening the two 1/4" screws on the handle ends. Recommended screw torque is 28 lb-in. Fasten three #8-32 nuts to the middle three locations. Nuts should be snug.
NOTE: Do not overtighten. Do not use impact driver.
