CAUTION
Wear gloves and safety goggles. Use extreme CAUTION when installing these handles.
NOTE
All set screws should be tightened so the screw is below the surface of the handle. The handles should be drawn tight
to freezer and refrigerator doors with no gaps. Opening the opposite door while tightening the Allen screw makes
installation easier.
The door handle may loosen over time or if it was installed improperly. If this happens, tighten the set screws on the
handles.
