2REVERSING THE DOOR SWING

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.
