Assemble the handle:  
 

Assemble the pieces as shown. The locknuts are the only part on the inside of the door.  
Hold the screws with a screwdriver and tighten the nuts on the inside of the door. Make 
sure that the door and the aluminum heat-shield are separated with the small spacer.   
 

 
(Hint – push the long screws into the handle and tape over the heads to hold them in the 
handle. Thread the pieces as shown.) 
 
The door latch should be adjusted by hand when cool. Put thumb pressure on the latch 
up or down to increase or decrease the closing force. Note that heat expands the door 
slightly so the latch will be tighter at high temperature.
