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.
