Before You Begin

When reversing the door swing:

■

Read the instructions all the way through 
before starting.

■

NOTE: Doors on stainless steel models are not
reversible.

■

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.

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 (merely
reverse all references to left and right).

Unplug the refrigerator from its electrical outlet.

Empty all door shelves including the dairy
