FULL OVERLAY PANEL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1: Verify door alignment
Verify that the door is aligned correctly with the cabinet
prior to fabricating the custom panel. Failure to do so may
result in mis-alignment of the custom panel with the hinge
bracket. The door should be parallel to the sides and top of
the refrigerator. If alignment is necessary the door may be
adjusted by loosening the 2 screws which secure the top
and/or bottom hinge adapter brackets, located on the top
and bottom of the door and adjusting the door side to side.
Use a
⁄
" allen wrench, for this procedure. (See Figure 29
