Hinge replacement
To replace the hinges, you must remove the doors first.
CAUTION
• When removing the doors, take extreme caution because the doors are heavy.
• Before replacing the hinges, put a soft pad such as cardboard on the floor to prevent
scratches on the door when you place the doors down.
• As the hinges must be handled carefully and replaced by two or more persons, we
recommend you to call for professional technical service.
• If you remove the hinge without holding the door, the door may fall and cause injury.
• Ensure that the shaft is firmly tightened on the hinge.
• Check that the hinge is firmly attached to the cabinet.
• Make sure the wire connectors are connected properly.
• Be careful not to damage the wires when fastening the top cover.
WARNING
• Tilting/laying the refrigerator requires a minimum of 2 people.
• Disconnect the power cord before reversing the doors.
