SUGGESTION: Reversing the door swing should be performed by a qualified person.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Before you begin, turn refrigerator OFF, unplug it, and remove any food from door shelves.

Remove base grille.

When removing hinges, keep doors closed until ready to lift free from cabinet.

To remove doors, start at the top hinge and work your way down.

To replace doors, start at the bottom hinge and work your way up.

Line up doors so they are centered between the sides of the cabinet and parallel with each other.

Seal all unused openings with screws or plastic plugs. Moisture will enter any openings.

NOTE: After the doors are reversed, reinstall the handles. If the doors are not shutting on their own, see “Leveling” in the “Installing Your Refrigerator” section.
