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.

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
