REVERSING THE DOOR SWING
IMPORTANT NOTES
When reversing the door swing:
NOTE: Door swing is not reversible on
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.
