Reversing the Door Swing

NOTE: Some door styles are not user-reversible. Consult summitappliance.com for details.

If you find the direction of opening the door of the refrigerator or freezer inconvenient, you can

change it. Holes on the opposite side have already been prepared at the factory. To reverse your

door, follow these instructions:

1. Take the upper hinge cover from the door, and remove

the screws that hold the top hinge.

2. Lift the hinge straight up to free the hinge pin from the

socket in the top of the door.

3. Lift the door up and away to free its bottom socket from

the hinge pin.

4. Remove the screws from the bottom hinge.

5. Remove the decorative caps from the opposite side and

plug the holes from the original side with the decorative

caps.

NOTE: If the hinge pin attached to the bottom hinge cannot be

removed and reattached in the left hinge hole, use the

hinge provided in the plastic bag where this User Manual was found.

6. Install the bottom hinge on the opposite side and tighten the screws. Use any lock washers

or nuts, if they were used the original installation.

7. On the bottom of the door, unscrew and remove the white hinge cushion. Flip the cushion

180° and install on the opposite side of the door.

8. Replace the door onto the hinge pin on the bottom hinge. Place the top hinge pin into the

door. Insert screws into the top hinge. Replace the upper hinge cover.

9. Install the decorative caps into the hinge holes on the top of the unit.

To switch the door handle:

1. Remove the gasket from the inside of the door.

2. There are two screws and two washers holding the door handle to the door. Unscrew these

and remove the door handle.

3. On the opposite side of the door, unscrew the screws holding the handle covers in place.

Save these for later use.

4. Replace the washers and screws into the track on the opposite side of the door, and then

attach the door handle.

5. Insert the screws for the handle hole covers, and while holding them in place, reinstall the

handle hole covers. They will thread onto the screws.

Installing the Handle

This refrigerator or freezer includes a handle that is not required to operate the unit. To install the

handle, follow the instructions below:

1. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws on the side of door where the handle is to be installed.

2. Align the handle with the screws removed in step # 1. Tighten the screws using a Phillips head

screwdriver until the handle is both flush and secured tightly against the door side. (DO NOT

over-tighten as this will cause damage to the door surface.)
