1. The front top grill (A) must be opened before reversing the door. Grab it from either side of its bottom edge and pull it
towards you and tilt it up until it locks into place.
2. Remove the 6 screws (B) which are located in the pre-drilled holes used to mount the door hinges on the left door pillar
(when facing the unit). 3 screws are for the top hinge and 3 screws are for the bottom hinge.
3. Note the location of the door switch tab (F) and remove it. Once the door is reversed, the tab must be installed in the same
location in relation to the unit so that it can press in the door switch when the door is closed.
4. Before the door can be removed, the tension stored in the top and bottom of the doors’ self closing springs must be safely
released. To release the tension in the springs, insert a rigid object into one of the door spring shaft’s unoccupied tension
lock screw holes (C-1, D-1). Gently turn the door spring shaft until you can easily unscrew the tension lock screw (C-2, D-2).
Remove the tension lock screw. Slowly remove the rigid object which was inserted into one of the spring shaft’s unoccupied
tension lock screw holes. When the rigid object clears the hole, the door spring will release the stored tension and the door
spring shaft will spin violently. Remember that there are two springs, the top and the bottom, whose tensions must be
released.
5. Have a second person secure and hold the door (E) against the unit while the top hinge is removed.
6. Remove the top hinge (C) by removing the 3 screws securing it.
7. Remove the door by lifting it until the bottom clears the bottom hinge (D). Ensure that the top and bottom springs and
springs’ shafts do not fall out.
8. Remove the bottom hinge (D) by removing the 3 screws securing it.
9. The right top hinge becomes the left bottom hinge (C). Install the right top hinge into the left bottom position using 3
screws. Ensure that the door hinge pins are facing up.
10. Flip the door (E) over so that the hinged part is on the left side, when facing the door.
11. Install the door onto the bottom door hinge (C). The longer of the two pins pointing upward should be inserted into the
bottom spring shaft.
12. Have a second person secure and hold the door (E) against the unit while the top hinge is installed.
13. The bottom right hinge becomes the left top hinge (D). Install the left top hinge onto the door. The two pins on the door
hinge should be facing down and the longer of the two inserted into the top door spring shaft.
14. Secure the top hinge to the unit using 3 screws.
15. The door should now be secured to the unit. Ensure that the door is secured before proceeding.
16. Tension must be added to the doors’ springs for the self closing action to work. Using two rigid objects that can be
inserted into the door springs’ unoccupied door spring shaft tension lock screw holes (C-1, D-1), turn the shaft
counterclockwise, when viewing the shaft from a birds eye perspective. 2 to 3 rotations of tension should be added.
