IMPORTANT NOTES

When reversing the door swing:

• 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.

Unplug the refrigerator from its electrical outlet.
