REMOVING AND RELOCATING THE HINGE BRACKETS
5. Remove the middle hinge bracket by using the # 2 phillips
screwdriver and taking out the three screws holding it in
place. Next, with fingernails, lift and remove the three hole
plugs on the opposite side corresponding to the center
hinge location. Relocate them in the holes just exposed by
the removal of the hinge bracket. Using the same screws,
attach the hinge bracket to the refrigerator where the hole
plugs previously were. Do not tighten screws completely.
(See Figure 10)

6. Remove the top hinge bracket and reposition it in the oppo-
site bottom corner. Use the same technique as outlined in
Step # 5.
7. Remove the bottom hinge bracket and reposition it in the
opposite top corner. Use the same technique as outlined in
Step # 5.
RELOCATING THE TRAVEL LATCHES
8. Remove both travel latches by taking out the two screws
holding each to the refrigerator. Use the # 2 phillips screw-
driver. Remove the two hole plugs from each of the corre-
sponding holes on the opposite side of the refrigerator. Re-
locate them in the two holes just exposed by the removal of
the latches. Using the two screws, attach each latch in the
new position so the tab points towards the opposite side of
the refrigerator. Do not tighten screws completely. (See Fig-
ure 11)

9. Turn the door over so that the end previously at the bottom
is now at the top. Relocate the bottom of the door on the
bottom hinge pin shoulder. Close door and align holes in
top hinge brackets. The magnetic gasket will hold the door
in place. Before reinstalling the top door, check to insure
that the spacer is in place. (See Figures 12 and 14C)
10. Reposition the upper door in a similar manner as described
in Step # 9, except the top of the door must be engaged
into the hinge pin shoulder before setting the door in place.
(See Figure 12)
Figure 12
11. Starting at the top, replace the hinge pins using the slotted
screwdrivers as in the removal procedure. Tighten all
screws.
ALIGNMENT OF THE DOORS
12. Align the upper door with the lower so that there is a parallel
gap between the doors and around the frame. Adjust the
doors to the cabinet so the gaskets seal but do not bind.
Tighten the screws holding the hinge brackets in place.
13. Door Seal: The door seal can be checked by closing the
door on a 1" x 6" strip of paper. A slight drag should be
noticed when the paper is pulled out from between the gas-
ket and the cabinet. Repeat the process around all four
sides of the door. If the door does not seal properly, read-
just the hinge brackets.
14. Position the travel latches so that they secure the doors
when closed but does not prevent the doors from closing
properly. Tighten the two screws in each travel latch.
15. Replace the juice rack and storage bins into the door. Make
sure that the milk bins (wider storage bins) are installed in
the lowest door position.
