WARNING
ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
•Disconnect electrical supply to the refrigerator before installing. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.
•Do not put hands, feet or other objects into the air vents, base grille, or bottom of the refrigerator. You may be injured or receive an electrical shock.
•Be careful when you work with the hinge, base grille and stopper. You may be injured. Before removing the doors, remove the base grille.
CAUTION: When lifting the hinge free of the latch, be careful that the door does not fall forward.
Removing the left (freezer) door with water line connection:
Pull up the water feed tube while pressing the area (Figure 1) as shown in the figure below.
NOTE: If a tube end is deformed or abraded, trim the part away. Disconnecting the tube under the door causes about 0,13 gallons (0,5 liters) water to flow out. Put a large container at end of tube to prevent water from draining onto the floor.
1.Open the door. Remove the top hinge cover screw (1).
2.Use a flat blade screwdriver to pry back the hooks (not shown) of the hinge cover (2) from the top of the refrigerator cabinet (2). Lift up the cover.
