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.
• Parts are included in the door hinge kit.
• 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: A replacement logo badge is included
in the hinge kit.
