right instead of the left)
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).
