Drawer Panel
� When preparing the Drawer Panel, follow the same
instructions as per the door panel, but make sure
measurements are taken starting from the top edge.
The height-adjustment support brackets are oriented the
opposite way.
� Prepare the refrigerator door (and drawer(s) if applicable) for
panel mounting by threading the shoulder bolts into the
recessed receivers and the set screws into the other hole.
Ensure the end with the hex key socket is threaded into the
door and not on the visible end. Thread this in far enough that
it is flush with refrigerator door face so as not to interference
with hanging the panel. You will adjust these later from the
inside of the door and drawer.

tapered countersinks for the screw heads.
