SOLID (OP) AND GLASS FRAMED PANEL (OG) INSTALLATION
Required Tools:
•  Phillips Screwdriver
•  3/8" Wrench
•  1/8" Drill Bit
•  Ten (10) Screws #6
NOTE: THE LENGTH OF OVERLAY PANEL 
MOUNTING SCREWS NEED TO BE 3/4” PLUS 
THE THICKNESS OF THE PANEL, MINUS 1/4”. 
(3/4”+ THICKNESS OF THE OVERLAY PANEL- 
1/4”= LENGTH OF SCREW). TYPES AND LENGTHS 
OF SCREWS CAN VARY DEPENDING ON THE 
MATERIAL USED
SEE PAGES 21-22 FOR OVERLAY PANEL DIMENSIONS 
BEFORE INSTALLING.
FOR EASY OVERLAY INSTALLATION, REFRIGERATOR 
DOOR REMOVAL IS REQUIRED.
NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL A SOLID PANEL ON A 
GLASS DOOR. THIS MAY CAUSE MOISTURE 
TO FORM BEHIND THE PANEL RESULTING IN 
DAMAGE.
1.  Open front door and pull grill forward to remove.
2.  To remove door back out two bottom hinge screws 
with a 3/8" wrench. Secure door while removing 
screws. Remove two Phillips screws from the top 
hinge. Save all these screws for later reinstall.  
3.  Lay door on a safe solid surface. If retrofitting 
glass door model be careful not to damage glass.  
Lay cardboard or other safe material down before 
working on the door. Remove door gasket from the 
inside of the door frame. Place gasket to the side 
for later reinstall.
4.  There are pre marked areas on the front of the 
door. Drill these pre marked holes with 1/8" drill 
bit. Make sure to go all the way through the door.
NOTE: IF HANDLE IS BEING USED ON OVERLAY 
INSTALL IT BEFORE STEP 7 (SEE IMAGE 
A). FOR BEST INSTALLATION, SCREWS 
ATTACHING HANDLE SHOULD BE RECESSED. 
5.  It is recommended to clamp the door front on top of 
the overlay before drilling pilot holes and installing 
anchor screws. The clamp ensures the overlay 
panel and door stay aligned with each other while 
installing. Once panel is clamped in place, pilot 
holes may be drilled into the panel from the rear 
side of the door.
