4.If the hinge mechanism should become uncocked while changing the door, it will be necessary to recock the hinge mechanism. To do this, remove the door from the cabinet and position the door face down on a workbench or table. Using a 5/16" open end or adjustable wrench, turn the hinge mechanism shaft 135° (Fig. 3).

5.Replace the hinge plates and door(s) in the reverse order of disassembly.

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.
