Cleaning Prior to Use

Notes: 

•  

Before you begin, unplug the refrigerator.

•  If it is necessary to tilt the unit backwards, rest the unit on something solid so 

   that it will not slip during the process. 

•  Do not lay the unit flat as this may damage the coolant system.

Reversing the Door Swing

1.  Unscrew the two screws from the bottom hinge and remove the hinge from the unit. Remove the 

leveling leg from the opposite side. Set the hinge, leg, and screws aside in a safe location.

2.  Slide the lower door down from the hinge pin located on the top of the door. Set the door aside.

Although the refrigerator is cleaned at the factory, dust and contaminants can accumulate during 

transport, and it is important that the refrigerator be thoroughly cleaned prior to its first use. 

Wipe the inside of the unit with a wet cloth or sponge soaked in a solution of warm water and baking 

soda. Remove the shelves and salad bins and wash with warm, soapy water. Clean the exterior of the 

unit using a damp cloth, but do not use baking soda on the stainless steel. 

 

 

 

3.  Remove the plastic top cover by removing the 2 screws in the back, then unscrew the two screws 

from the top hinge and remove the hinge and upper door from the unit. Set them aside.

4.  Remove the 2 screws from the middle hinge between the 2 doors.  Take care to keep the plastic 

washers for the other side of the hinge. 

5.  Flip the middle hinge over and secure to the opposite side of the unit by inserting the two screws 

through the hinge bracket. Do not tighten at this step

6.  Slide the top door onto the middle hinge.
7.  Install the top hinge on the other side of the unit by inserting the two screws through the hinge and 

into the top of the unit. Do not tighten at this step.

8.  Check that the upper door is properly aligned and tighten the screws in the hinges.

 

 

9.  Slide the bottom door into the middle hinge and screw the bottom hinge into place. 
10. Check that the door is aligned horizontally and vertically and that the seals are closed on all sides 

before securely tightening the bottom hinge screws.
