REVERSING THE DOOR SWING
(Single Door Refrigerator Models only)
IMPORTANT NOTES
When reversing the door swing:
NOTE:
Door swing is not reversible on some
stainless steel models.
•
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.
•
Once door swing is finalized, ensure
the logo badge is properly aligned and
permanently secured to the door by
removing the adhesive cover on the back
side.
NOTE:
If necessary call Customer
Service for a replacement badge.
Unplug the refrigerator from its electrical
outlet.
Empty all door shelves, including the dairy
compartment.
