Door reversal

Before carrying out the operations described below, pull out the mains plug from the wall socket.

Carry out door reversal as follows:

1.Gently lay the appliance on its back with the top held away from the floor by 5-8 cm (2-3 inches) of packing.

2.Remove the bottom door hinge (5).

3.Remove the door (4) by opening it and pulling it gently downwards to remove it from the top hinge pin (2).

4.Unscrew the top hinge pin (2) from the top hinge (1) and replace it in the opposite hole on the left hand side.

5.Unscrew the foot at the base (6) of the appliance and refit it on the opposite side.

6.Refit the door and the bottom hinge to the left hand side.

7.Remove the door handle (3) and fit it on the opposite side. Cover the holes left open with the plugs already provided.

When the bottom hinge is screwed in, a certain amount of force is exerted on the screws.

It is therefore advisable to lubricate the screw tips before starting this operation.

Important

After completion of the door reversal operation, verify that the door gasket is sealing onto the cabinet.

If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or accelerate this process by heating up the part involved with a normal hairdryer on a low setting.
