the copper tubing. Insert the tube into the union fitting
on the unit and tighten the nut to the union.
• Turn on the water to check for leaks.

Installation Instructions - Standard Installation
STEP 11A INSTALL OVERLAY PANELS
(continued)
Custom Handles
• If you are using custom handles, the handle must e
properly secured to the overlay panel before sliding
the panel into the trim.
• The cabinet manufacturer will supply the custom
handle and hardware.
• Discard the supplied handle.
• Remove the trim. Peel away a few inches of the
adhesive backing.
IMPORTANT: The tape is very sticky and strong.
Once it adheres to a surface, it cannot be removed
without damaging both surfaces. Do not install the
trim before the final wood panels are in place. Be
sure to align the trim carefully before removing the
paper backing.
• Reinstall the handle side trim, using all 12 supplied
flat-head screws, plus the 12 flat-head screws
originally installed in the handle trim.
• Install a supplied end cap onto the top of the door,
using a Phillips head screwdriver and the 2 screws
provided. Hand-tighten the screws into the end
caps. Do not overtighten; damage will occur.
• Clean the aluminum trim with rubbing alcohol—
do not use alcohols with oil or lanolin that will prevent
adhesion of double-sided tape.
• Slip the aluminum cover onto the top bracket to check
the fit. The aluminum cover trim has a slot on each
end which fits the bracket.
Reinstall all original screws.
STEP 11A INSTALL OVERLAY
PANELS (continued)
• Carefully place the aluminum cover trim onto the top
bracket so that the bracket is inside the cover trim.
Use the top to bottom grooves along the handle side
to align the cover trim accurately. Align the bracket
with the screw holes in the top of the door. Pull the
tape a few inches at a time while pressing the trim
against the door. Press and hold approximately 10
seconds before continuing along the length of the
door.
• Install another bracket at the bottom of the door to
secure the cover trim. Use a stubby Phillips head
screwdriver and the 2 screws provided.
• NOTE: Make sure there are no gaps in the
installation.
• Follow the same procedure on the opposite door.
