5. Tilt the refrigerator back or lay it on its back for steps 6, 7 and 8. Use a pad or blanket to protect
the floor and to avoid scratching the painted finish.
6. Remove the leveling legs by turning them counterclockwise. Remove the lower hexagonal-head
screws, two on the hinge side and one near the front corner of the other side.
7. Attach the bottom hinge symmetrically to the other side of the cabinet with the screws removed in
Step 6. (Do not tighten screws completely.)
8. Attach the left side leg and the leg spacer to the other side hole which was positioned
symmetrically.
9. Remove the upper hinge plastic pins and insert them in the holes from which the screws were
removed in Step 2.
10. Take off the hinge collar caps from both the freezer and refrigerator doors using a screwdriver
and insert them in the hinge collar on the opposite side.
11. Attach the shaft to the hinge bottom. Attach the refrigerator door to the shaft.
12. Rotate the middle hinge 180°. Attach it to the refrigerator door and secure it with screws. (Do not
tighten screws completely.)
13. Attach the upper hinge to the freezer door. Attach the freezer door to the middle hinge and use
the screws to attach the upper hinge. (Do not tighten screws completely.)
14. The direction in which the doors open has now been changed; however, the following points
should be checked:
a. Make sure the doors are on straight.
b. Make sure there is no space between the door gaskets and the refrigerator and freezer units
themselves when the doors are closed.
c. Make sure that the gasket on the hinge side is not caught between the door and the unit when
the door is opened or closed. (If the door is forced closed when the gasket is caught, the gasket
might be damaged.)
d. When checking the above points, if it is discovered that the doors are not installed properly (this
is apt to happen on the first try), loosen the screws holding the upper hinge, straighten the door
and tighten the screws slowly with the socket wrench. After making sure that the doors are
installed correctly, tighten all the screws holding the hinge. If they are not tightened, the doors
may slip out of position or there may be an opening between the doors and the unit.
15. Stand the unit back in the upright position.
NOTE: The door of the top unit (FFAR23L) cannot be reversed.
