DOOR SWING
Moving the hinges allows the door to open from either the left
or the right side. Change the swing BEFORE attaching the door
panel.
To change:
1. Open the door. Remove 4 stainless steel screws opposite the
hinge side on the front of the cabinet.
2. Remove innermost screw holding each hinge to the cabinet.
Loosen the other screw.

3. Slide the door to the side so the keyhole on the hinge clears
the screw and remove from cabinet.
4. Remove the screws that were loosened and save. Install the
4 stainless steel screws that were removed in Step 1 into the
open holes on the cabinet left by removing the hinge.
5. Remove the hole plug and hinge opening covers from door (if
applicable).

6. Remove hole plugs or screws from unit's new hinge locations
(if applicable). Set aside.
7. Install the 2 hinge screws removed after the door was
removed from the cabinet into the outermost holes on the
new hinge side of the cabinet. Screw these in only about half
way.
8. Remove the upper hinge from the door and move it to the
door's opposite side, bottom location. Secure using the
original screws.
NOTE: If door panel is attached, it must be removed to access
hinge screws and to reverse the handle position.
9. Remove the original lower door hinge and move it to the
opposite side, upper location. Secure using original screws.
Installation Instructions
Loosen
IMPORTANT: If installing a stainless steel door panel or
custom panel, skip to INSTALLING THE DOOR PANEL section.
10. Install pocket covers and hole plugs onto door.
11. Place the keyhole slot on the hinge over the outermost screw,
top and bottom, and slide the door onto the cabinet.
12. Install the door to the cabinet using the original screws.
Tighten all 4 screws.
IMPORTANT: In some situations the door can open too far
and damage adjacent cabinets. To prevent this, insert a Stop
Pin (in hardware packet) into the provided hole in the top and
bottom hinges. Drive the pin into the hole until the head is
flush with the hinge.

14. Attach the side covers from the hardware packet over the
hinge by peeling off the covering over the adhesive and
placing it over the side of the hinge. NOTE: If the unit is being
built-in a screw can be used to secure the unit to the cabinet
in place of installing the side covers.
INSTALLING THE DOOR PANEL
The ice machine is supplied without a conventional door
covering, allowing the attachment of a stainless steel door
panel or a custom panel.
NOTE: If the door swing is to be changed, it needs to be
done BEFORE attaching the door panel.
Door Panel
Finished stainless steel door panels with handles are
available from GE Appliances for attachment to the ice
machine. See Accessories on page 10.
A custom panel of wood or other material not exceeding 15
lbs can be used and must follow these guidelines:
