Installation Instructions
REVERSING THE DOOR SWING
REMOVE THE FREEZER DOOR
Remove the hinge cover screws (some models have
lock washers with each screw), top hinge and shim.
Set the door on a non-scratching surface with the
outside up.
NOTE: When removing the door, watch for
washer(s) between the center hinge and the
bottom of the freezer door that may stick to
the door. Do not lose.
CAUTION:
Do not let door drop
to the floor. To do so could damage the door stop.
1 IMPORTANT NOTES
When reversing the door swing:
• Read the instructions all the way through before
starting.
• Handle parts carefully to avoid scratching paint.
• Set screws down by their related parts to avoid using
them in the wrong places.
• Provide a non-scratching work surface for the doors.
IMPORTANT: Once you begin, do not move the cabinet
until door-swing reversal is completed.
These instructions are for changing the hinges from the
right side to the left side—if you ever want to change the
hinges back to the right side, follow these same
instructions and reverse all references to left and right.
Unplug the refrigerator from its electrical outlet.
Empty all door shelves.
