Door Handle Mounting Instructions for Frigidaire Gallery®

1 Remove handles from carton and any other protective packaging.
2 Position fresh food handle end over upper and lower pre-installed shoulder bolts (A) that are fastened into door,
ensuring the holes for the set screws are facing towards the opposite door.
3 While holding handle firmly against door, fasten upper and lower Allen set screws (B) with supplied Allen wrench.
4 Repeat steps 2 and 3 to install opposite handle. Ensure the holes for the set screws are facing towards the first door.
5 Position freezer handle end over left and right pre-installed handle mounts that are fastened to the door, ensuring
the holes for the set screws are facing down.
6 While holding handle firmly against door, loosely tighten far right Allen set screw (B) with supplied Allen wrench until there is
no gap between handle and door.
7 Still holding the handle firmly to the door, firmly tighten far left Allen set screw (B) with supplied Allen wrench.
8 Return to the far right Allen set screw (B) and firmly tighten with supplied Allen wrench.

 NOTE
All set screws should be tightened so the screw is below the surface of the handle. The handles should be drawn
tight to freezer and refrigerator doors with no gaps. Opening the opposite door while tightening the Allen screw
makes installation easier.

 Care & Cleaning

Protecting your investment

Keeping your refrigerator clean maintains its appearance and prevents odor build-up. Wipe up any spills immediately
and clean the freezer and fresh food compartments at least twice a year.

 NOTE
Do not use abrasive cleaners such as window sprays, scouring cleansers, flammable fluids, cleaning waxes,
concentrated detergents, bleaches, or cleansers containing petroleum products on plastic parts, interior doors,
gaskets, or cabinet liners. Do not use paper towels, scouring pads, or other abrasive cleaning materials.
• Never use metallic scouring pads, brushes, abrasive cleaners, or strong alkaline solutions on any surface.
• Never use CHLORIDE or cleaners with bleach to clean stainless steel.
• Do not wash any removable parts in a dishwasher.
• Always unplug the electrical power cord from the wall outlet before cleaning.

 NOTE
If you set your temperature controls to turn off cooling, power to lights and other electrical components will continue
until you unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
• Remove adhesive labels by hand. Do not use razor blades or other sharp instruments which can scratch the
appliance surface.
• Do not remove the serial plate. Removal of your serial plate voids your warranty.
• Before moving your refrigerator, raise the anti-tip brackets so the rollers will work correctly. This will prevent the
floor from being damaged.

CAUTION
• Pull the refrigerator straight out to move it. Shifting it from side to side may damage flooring. Be careful not to
move the refrigerator beyond the plumbing connections.
• Damp objects stick to cold metal surfaces. Do not touch refrigerated surfaces with wet or damp hands.

IMPORTANT
If you store or move your refrigerator in freezing temperatures, be sure to completely drain the water supply
system. Failure to do so could result in water leaks when the refrigerator is put back into service. Contact a service
representative to perform this operation.
Refer to the guide on the next page for details on caring and cleaning specific areas of your refrigerator.

Vacation and moving tips

Occasion Tips

• Turn the cooling system off (see “Controls” section for location of On/Off button) and disconnect power
cord.
• Turn water supply valve to closed position.
