Answer:

Note: External dispenser models may have trim panels that need to be removed.

• Refer to 590, 680, 690 Handle and Glasswell Trim Panels for more information on removing panels on external dispenser models.

To remove door panel or full-length framed door handle:

1. Open the door and press a sticky piece of tape to center of magnetic trim strip.
   • Using anything other than tape to pry could scratch the molding.
2. Pull tape so that trim strip bows away from door, disengaging both ends of trim strip from the end caps.
3. With mounting screws exposed, remove the screws, then pull handle (or handle-side trim) from door.
4. With handle or trim removed, slide the door panel all the way out to remove.
   • On overlay models, the removal of this handle side door trim will allow the panel to slide out of the frame.

5. To install the handle, reverse the above steps.

Refer to the product Installation Guide for further installation information, including panel mounting and alignment.
