Insert the Panels
Carefully push the door panels into the slots. Make sure that the top freezer
panel is put in with the cut-out at the upper left hand corner. When inserting the
fresh food panel make sure the cut-out is at the upper right hand corner.
Replace the Door Handle and Trim
Reinstall the full length handle and top handle cap. Loosely screw the handle
onto the door. Place the cap on the top of the handle and loosely screw down the
cap. Lift the handle up and tighten the top screw on the handle. Then tighten
the handle cap screw so that the cap and handle fit flush. Tighten all the screws.
The fresh food panel is installed the same way.
