ZEEL® FRAME ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS Fig. A. BEFORE YOU BEGIN REVIEW THE FOLLOWING AND BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE GLASS/FRAME UNIT: INNER FRAME (goes inside your home) OUTER FRAME WITH CLIPS (goes outside your home) • Keep your old doorglass and frame until the ODL Doorglass and ZEEL® Frame unit is completely installed. • ZEEL’s innovative clip system is designed for easy and more secure installation and for a one-time use. It is important to ensure the clips are aligned prior to locking clips.

Fig. 2-A. 2. REMOVE INNER FRAME • The Glass/Frame Unit is packaged with the frame in the shipping position. Short tabs of the Inner Frame are engaged in the Clip of the Outer Frame. (see Fig. B). • Gently loosen the short tabs out of the Clips, working around the frame until all of the tabs are out of the Clips. (see Fig. 2-A) – Important: Do not pull up on one end of the frame or the tabs may break. • Remove Inner Frame and set aside. (Remember to identify the opposite end of the Outer Frame.

4. PREPARE TO INSTALL THE INNER FRAME Fig.4-A • Make sure the Inner Frame is in the opposite direction (180°) from shipping position. If you placed a note at one end of the Inner Frame and one at the opposite end of the Outer Frame when you started, the notes should now be positioned on the same end of frames. (see Fig. 4-A.) • To ensure the Outer and Inner Frames are aligned and ready for assembly, match up the four sets of alignment arrows along the vertical section of the Inner and Outer Frames.

6. INSPECT INNER FRAME FOR GAP Fig.6-A • Inspect perimeter of Inner Frame to glass, and Inner Frame to door, for any gaps. (see Fig. 6-A) • If gaps are present, repeat step 5. • If repeating step 5 is not successful and a gap is still present, a Clip was likely missed. Carefully lift Inner Frame at gap location (see Fig. 6-B) and attempt to align Tall Tab into Clip (see clip alignment incorrect Fig. 6-C and correct Fig. 6-D) – This can be done but it is difficult.
