REVERSING THE DOOR SWING
(continued)
REVERSE CABINET HARDWARE.
1. Transfer the bottom hinge to the left.
a. Remove the base grille if your refrigerator has
one. Grasp it at the bottom and pull it straight out.
b. Using a Torxdriver, remove the hinge bracket
(and shim glued to it), and plastic washer from
the bottom right side of the cabinet.
c. Reinstall the hinge bracket (and shim glued
to it) and plastic washer on the bottom left side of
the cabinet.
2. Transfer the top hinge to the left.
Reinstall the top hinge (and shim glued to it) on
the left front corner of the cabinet, but do not
tighten the screws at this time.
Some hinges have four holes. Which holes you
use for installing the hinge depends on which
side you install the hinge.
The outer edge of the hinge should be parallel to
the edge of the case for correct installation.
