For example if the door panel width dimension “B” is 593 mm and thickness of door panel dimension “A” is 22 mm that means that door panel require radius “R1” min 2 mm.

B [mm]

1. Mount the panel alignment tool onto the refrigerator door.

■ Align the smaller piece with the screws on the bottom of

the door, and slide it to the left.

■ Assemble the panel alignment tool by inserting the long

arm of the main piece into the cutout of the smaller piece, and adjust it so that the base is at the appropriate height, aligned with the base of the surrounding cabinet doors. Use a screwdriver to tighten the panel alignment tool’s

9.5 mm screw and hold it in place.

2. Attach the refrigerator door panel.

■ Peel the protective paper covers off of the adhesive pads

on each refrigerator door panel mount. There are two adhesive pads on each of the four panel mounts.

■ At an angle, rest the base of the refrigerator door panel on

the panel alignment tool.

■ Slowly tilt the panel to attach it to the adhesive pads on

the panel mounts. Firmly press against the corners of the door to ensure that the panel is properly attached to the adhesive pads.

3. Loosen the panel alignment tool’s screw and remove the tool

from the refrigerator door by sliding it to the right and off of the door.

4. Mount the panel alignment tool onto the freezer door. Repeat

step 1 in refrigerator.

5. Attach the freezer door. Repeat step 2 in refrigerator.

6. Loosen the panel alignment tool’s screw, and remove the tool

from the freezer door by sliding it to the right and off of the door.

7. Open both doors and fasten the panel mounts to the door

panels. All eight panel mounts (four on each door) should be fastened in the same manner:

■ Use a Phillips screwdriver and two 13 mm screws (one at

the top of the mount and one at the bottom of the mount) to fasten the mount to the door panel.

■ Locate the two slotted headless screws, and use a at-

blade screwdriver to turn the bottom headless screw clockwise. This loosens the panel mount brace, which is between the panel mount and the door panel. Remove and discard the panel mount brace.

8. Finalize the placement of the door panels by using the

alignment screws on the panel mounts.

NOTE: Make sure that the door panels do not come into direct contact with any of the surrounding cabinets or cabinet doors. Such contact could prevent the refrigerator and/or freezer door(s) from closing properly.

■ The top-slotted headless screw (A in the illustration) adjusts

the spacing between the door and the door panel. Use a at-blade screwdriver to make adjustments. Turn the screw clockwise to increase the space between the door and door panel and counterclockwise to decrease the space.

NOTE: When the doors are closed, there should be a minimum of 1 mm of space between the rear face of the door panels and the front face of the frame. Use the topslotted headless screw to add more space if necessary.
