NOTE: Check the vertical handle position by using one short perimeter trim piece. Using the trim piece as a
visual guide, first place it directly above the chromed handle endcap on the freezer door. Open and sight down
the top edge of the door panel If light can be seen between the top edge of the door panel and the foam
adhesive on the perimeter trim, the upper chromed endcap on the handle will need to be adiusted downward
until foam tape makes contact. If light cannot be seen, use the same procedure to check the refrigerator door.
If no adjustment is needed, proceed to Step 6.
If the upper portion of the handles need attjustment, proceed according to the following instructions:
TOP EDGE OF DOOR: With a phillips screwdriver, proceed to remove the upper chromed endcap.
Remove the top plastic handle trim extension. File off the top of the trim lock the amount necessary to elimi-
nate the light previously seen. Do not remove more than 1/32". Reinstall the components that were removed
and check the trim fit.

Cut appropriate lengths of tape to be applied above the top chromed endcap and below the bottom chromed
endcap on both doors. Strips will also have to be placed on either side of the handle trim extension just below
the top chromed handle endcap and just above on the bottom endcap on both the freezer and refrigerator doors.
7. Place a handle retainer insert in the open area of each handle (dispenser models will only have one for the
refrigerator door). If any panel color can be seen at the comers, reposition the black tape previously installed.
Some amount of bow may be present in the insert but if bow is excessive when the insert is installed, remove
it. Carefully file the ends until the insert still fits snug but bow has been reduced to a minimum.

to properly locate these mounting holes.
11. Carefully cut out refrigerator door template from template sheet. Tape template to the face of the door so
that the edges of the template exactly line up with the edges of the door as printed on the template.
12. Drill 5/64" diameter holes through the face of the door where shown on the template. Use care to accu-
rately locate the holes.
13. Take the extruding pin from the kit. Using a hammer, drive the pin through each of the drilled holes.
This will enlarge the hole to the exact size and make it stronger. Mount the lower H-trim piece using the
