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.

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.
