Reversing The Door Swing; (Single Door Refrigerator Models Only) - GE 21 Owner's Manual And Installation

REVERSING THE DOOR SWING

IMPORTANT NOTES
When reversing the door swing:
NOTE: Door swing is not reversible on stainless
steel models.
• Read the instructions all the way through
before starting.
• Parts are included in the door hinge kit.
• 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.
IMPORTANT: Once you begin, do not move the
cabinet until door-swing reversal is completed.
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 and reverse all
references to left and right.
• Once door swing is finalized, ensure
the logo badge is properly aligned and
permanently secured to the door by removing
the adhesive cover on the back side.
NOTE: A replacement logo badge is included
in the hinge kit.
Unplug the refrigerator from its electrical outlet.
Empty all door shelves, including the dairy
compartment.
