Front Mount Freezer Handle
Materials Needed
• Gloves to protect hands.
• Phillips screwdriver.
• Plastic handle removal card (or 0.1 cm thick plastic card).
Retain the card.
Notes
• There is a slight curve to this style of freezer handle.
For proper installation, be sure handle is oriented as shown.
To Install:
I .Align door handle clips slightly to the left of the tabs attached
to the freezer door.
2. Rotate the handle so the left base is flat against the door.
3. Push the left handle base against the left door tab and slightly
to the right, just enough to allow it to hang unsupported.
4. While firmly supporting the left handle base against the door,
align the right base of the handle with the right tabs that are
attached to the door.
5. Now, while firmly holding the handle at the left and right
bases, gently slide the handle towards the right until the right
base settles in. The handle should now be flat against the face
of the freezer door at both the left and right bases.
6. With hands still firmly keeping the handle flat against the
freezer door, you may have to reverse directions
momentarily to assure clip/tab engagement. Then firmly slide
the handle to the right until it clicks. The audible “click”
indicates that the fastening clips are securely interlocked.
To Remove:
I .At the right end, flex the handle base away from the surface
of the freezer drawer. Simultaneously slide the door handle
removal card that came with your refrigerator under the right
side base of the handle. Slide the card to the line indication or
until it stops.
2. With both hands, firmly grasp the handle towards the right
base.
3. Slide towards the left, lift and remove from the surface.
