HOW TO TRANSFER THE DOOR HINGE LOCATION
OF A REVERSIBLE DOOR
Refer to the disassembly diagram and change the door hinges in the following procedure.
1. Remove the hinge cap by twisting it off.
2. Use a pad or blanket to protect the floor and to avoid scratching the painted finish.
3. Remove the upper hexagonal head screws. The refrigerator door can now be removed.
4. Tilt the refrigerator back or lay it on its back for steps. Remove the lower hexagonal head screws and
the leg.
5. Remove the left side leg, attach them to the other side hole which was positioned symmetrically.
6. Attach the bottom hinge symmetrically to the other side of the cabinet.
7. Remove the upper hinge plastic pins and insert them in the holes that the screws were removed in
Procedure 2.
8. Take off the hinge grommet using a screwdriver and insert it on the opposite side.
9. Remove the door hinge stopper and install it in the other side of the door.
10. Attach the door to the lower hinge.
11. Attach the upper hinge to the door and use the screws to attach the upper hinge. (Do not tighten the
screws completely.)
12. The direction in which the door opens has now been changed: however, the following points should be
checked.
(A) Make sure the door is on straight.
(B) Make sure that there is no space between the door gasket and the refrigerator unit itself when the
door is closed.
(C) Make sure that the gasket on the hinged 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 may
be damaged.)
When checking the above points, if it is installed correctly, tighten all the screws holding the hinges. If
they are not tightened, the door may slip out of position or there may be an opening between the door
and the unit.
13. Allow the unit to stand upright for three (3) hours before connecting it to a power supply.
