ASSEMBLY

Some components can be removed to allow the cabinet to pass through short or narrow doorways.

The door handle can be removed as follows:

1.If the adhesive-backed trim pieces are damaged during removal, new ones can be purchased from Hobart. The adhesive-backed trim pieces on the top and bottom of the handles need to be peeled off to expose the screws.

2.Peel off the trim pieces and remove the screws which secure the handles.

3.Reinstall screws, handles and trim pieces in reverse order of disassembly.

Door(s) and hinges can be removed as follows:

1.	Lift up and remove the front trim panel
	(Fig. 1).
2.	Remove the screws which secure the
	trim rail cover (Fig. 1), unplug the door
	switch lead wires, and remove the
	screws which secure the trim rail (Fig.
	1). Carefully lay the trim rail on top of
	the cabinet — avoid damaging or
	kinking the thermometer capillary tube.
3.	Remove the three screws which
	secure the upper hinge plate to the
	cabinet (Fig. 2). This will remove hinge
	tension. Remove the nut underneath
	the lower hinge plate which secures

If cabinets are too tall, the refrigeration system may need to be removed in order to pass through short openings. Contact your dealer or authorized servicer if this becomes necessary.

Once the cabinet is in its final position, replace any components that may have been removed (door handle, etc.) and then level the cabinet front-to-back and side-to-side by adjusting the legs as required.

Door Hinging

Should the doors need to be rehinged (from right to left or vice versa) contact a Hobart-authorized Refrigeration Service Company.
