16. The
direction
the doors open
in has now been
changed;
however,
the following
points
should
be checked:
(A) Make sure both doors are on straight.
(B) Make sure
that
there
is no space between
the
door
gaskets
and
the
refrigerator
unit itself when the doors are 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
close when the gasket
is caught,
the gasket may be damaged.)
When
checking
the above points,
if it is discovered
that
the doors are not installed
properly
(this is apt
to happen
at the first try), loosen-the
screws holding
the upper and middle hinges, straighten
the doors and
tighten
the screws slowly with the socket wrench.

After making sure that the doors are installed
correct-
ly, tighten
all the screws holding
the hinges.
If they are not tightened, the doors may slip out of
position or there may be an opening between the
doors and the unit. ((_O)

the refrigerator
door to the bottom
