REVERSING THE DOOR SWING
When reversing the door swing:
Read the instructions all the way through before
starting.
Handle parts carefully to avoid scratching paint.
Set screws down by their related parts to avoid using
them in the wrong places.
Provide a non-scratching work surface for the doors.
IMPORTANT: Once you begin, do not move the
cabinet until door-swing reversal is completed.
These instructions are for changing the hinges from
the right side to the left side—if you ever want to
change the hinges back to the right side, follow these
same instructions and reverse all references to left
and right.
Unplug the refrigerator from its electrical outlet.
Empty all door shelves, including the dairy
compartment.
