Reversing The Doors

We recommend that you reverse
doors before switching on for the first
time.
Tools required: Small and medium size
flat and cross-headed screwdrivers, a
pair of pliers.
Spare Parts supplied in the plastic
bag: The following parts, which are
exclusively for left hand side fitted hinge
operation are supplied in a plastic bag
with the appliance:
- Upper door top trim hinge covers –
there are 2 different parts, one for each
side of top trim.
- Upper door middle hinge bushing/
door stopper assembly.
We suggest you keep all the parts
supplied in the plastic bag and also
parts, which have been removed when
reversing doors, in a safe place for
possible future, re-use.
Important:
We suggest you ask somebody to help
you when moving the appliance around
and to hold doors when removing / re-
fitting hinges and doors to avoid any
injury and damage to the product.
Please refer to diagrams supplied. To
follow numbers in brackets below, refer
to the main diagram.
1. Switch off the appliance at the socket
outlet and pull out the mains plug.
2. Remove all food, loose items and
fittings from inside the appliance and
door shelves.
3. Carefully tilt the appliance on its back
side. (1) (You may need somebody to
help you.) Take care not to damage
the appliance by laying on some
protective material (e.g. its original
packaging). Make sure that you
tilt the appliance on its back side,
otherwise compressor oil may block
the pipes and you may damage the
appliance.
4. Unscrew and remove the LHS front
feet and bolt (2).
5. Unscrew the bolts and remove the
bottom hinge while holding the door
(3).
6. Remove the door carefully from the top
hinge by sliding down wards (4).
7. Reposition top hinge bushing and
blanking plug on the opposite side
and stand the door safely (5). You
may find it easier to remove the
bushing and the plug with the tip of
a small screwdriver. Take care not to
mark the door.
8. Reposition the top hinge on the
opposite side (6 and 7).
9. To refit the door, locate the top hinge
in the door, attach to the cabinet and
hold the door (8).
10. Fit the bottom hinge (9). If necessary
adjust and then tighten the bolts.
Ensure, that the door opens and
closes easily and that there are no
gaps allowing air into the cabinet. If
there are gaps between the door seal
and the cabinet, adjust the door seal
by gently pulling away from the door
11 using fingers.
