FRESH-FOOD DOOR INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove the screws securing the flush-install trims to
the sides of the unit.
2. Set aside the flush-install trims and screws in a safe
location.
Left: Flush-mount Trim (PK290066); Right: BM Proud Trim
(PK910123)
3. On the top surface of the door, remove the screws
holding the extrusion in place. Set aside the old
extrusion and screws for later disposal.
a. Also remove and set aside the small spacer
plate for disposal.
4. Replace the top extrusion with the new spacer
profile.
a. Ensure the new spacer is oriented correctly. The
countersunk holes should line up with holes on
the door without the spacer being out of position.
b. Secure the spacer by running the undercut
screws (M0215321) from the service kit into th
counter sunk holes.
c. Leave the thru-holes open. They will be used to
secure the door skin later.
Top: Old extrusion profile; Bottom: New spacer profile
5. Remove the full-overlay z-brace sitting diagonally
across the door and set aside for later disposal.
6. Remove screws from the bottom extrusion as
specified below.
a. Remove the leftmost, rightmost, and middle
screws.

7. Remove the side door trim on the hinge side. Hold on
to three of the screws and set aside the rest.
8. After removing the side door trim, run three screws
back into the door on the hinge side.
a. The screws should be installed in the topmost,
middle, and bottommost holes.
Left: LH screw locations; Right: RH screw locations
b. Do not run the screws flush. The heads should
stick up approximately 1/16” from the surface.
c. Use the screw gauge (087639-000) to measure
the depth by placing it flush with
the side of the door and lining up
the screw heads with the cutouts. If
the screw is the correct depth, the
cutout in the gauge should
fit smoothly around the head with
little to no play.
d. If the gauge has play, run the
screw deeper. If the gauge does
not fit, pull the screw further out.
e. Adjust each screw head until they
all satisfy the gauge. Use a
screwdriver for fine adjustments.
f. These screws will form the snap /
locking feature for the door panel.

1. Using the tape, cut several strips and use them to
cover the screw heads.
a. Run the strips across the screw heads and
around the corner towards the front of the door.
b. DO NOT run the tape too close to the inner edge
or corners of the door.
2. Lift the door-skin assembly (preferably with two
people) and hook the handle-side flange around the
remaining side trim.
a. Ensure there is contact between the door-skin
“hook” and the trim.
3. Rotate the door skin into position; make sure that it
remains “hooked” and has clearance around the top
and bottom.
4. Insert the door shims between the panel and the
door near the locations of the screw heads. This will
lever the panel around the corner when you push it
on.
5. Push the rounded edge of the door skin over the
screw-heads on the hinge side until you hear a ‘snap’.
a. The door shims will lift the edge of the panel over
the screw heads to prevent scratching.
b. It helps to pull on the door skin from the inside or
to squeeze from both sides.
c. The snapping sound is the door skin locking in
place around the screw-heads.
6. Install truss-head screws (P#: 010944-000) in the
thru-holes on the top and bottom of the door skin to
secure it.

edge of the door.
b. Use the door shims included in the service kit.
5. Install truss-head screws (P#: 010944-000) on the
bottom to secure the door skin.

ed in the service kit (053836-000 on side-by-side /
