5.Tilt the refrigerator back or lay it on its back for steps 6, 7 and 8. Use a pad or blanket to protect the floor and to avoid scratching the painted finish.
6.Remove the leveling legs by turning them counterclockwise. Remove the lower
7.Attach the bottom hinge symmetrically to the other side of the cabinet with the screws removed in Step 6. (Do not tighten screws completely.)
8.Attach the left side leg and the leg spacer to the other side hole which was positioned symmetrically.
9.Stand the unit back in the upright position.
10.Remove the upper hinge plastic pins and insert them in the holes from which the screws were removed in Step 2.
11.Take off the hinge collar caps from both the freezer and refrigerator doors using a screwdriver and insert them in the hinge collars on the opposite side.
12.Attach the shaft to the hinge bottom. Attach the refrigerator door to the shaft.
13.Rotate the middle hinge 180°. Attach it to the refrigerator door and secure it with screws. (Do not tighten screws completely.)
14.Attach the upper hinge to the freezer door. Attach the freezer door to the middle hinge and use the screws to attach the upper hinge. (Do not tighten screws completely.)
15.The direction in which the doors open has now been changed; however, the following points should be checked:
a.Make sure the doors are on straight.
b.Make sure there is no space between the door gaskets and the refrigerator and freezer units themselves when the doors are closed.
c.Make sure that the gasket on the hinge side is not caught between the door and the unit when the door is opened or closed. (If the door is forced closed when the gasket is caught, the gasket might be damaged.)
d.When checking the above points, if it is discovered that the doors are not installed properly (this is apt to happen on the first try), loosen the screws holding the upper hinge, straighten the door and tighten the screws slowly with the socket wrench. After making sure that the doors are installed correctly, tighten all the screws holding the hinge.
If they are not tightened, the doors may slip out of position or there may be an opening between the doors and the unit.
