1. Removing and Installing the Refrigerator Handles
NOTE: To assist in the installation of the handles on the right side, place a piece of masking tape near the top of the
handle before removing it.
• Grasp the handle firmly with both hands and slide the
handle up (1) (this might require some force).
• The keyhole slots (2) on the back of the handle allow
the handle to separate from the screws in the door.
• Use the 10 mm open-end wrench to remove the
mounting screws in the door (3).
• Carefully loosen the plug buttons (4) with your fingers.
The buttons can be unscrewed with the fingers by
rotating them counter-clockwise and continuing until
they loosen and fall out The buttons were installed
without pressure, and for this reason, they can be
unscrewed using your index finger, thumb or both.
• Install the plug buttons (5) on the left side.
• Install the mounting screws (6) on the right side.
• Hold the handle so that the masking tape is at the
bottom.
• Align the keyhole slots (7) on the top and bottom of
the back of the handle with the screws on the front of
the door.
• Press the handle against the front of the door, ensuring
that the screws are inside of the keyhole slots of the
handle (8).
• Grasp the handle with both hands and slide the handle
downward (9) (this may require some force).
