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.
