Adjusting the door hinges

The door hinges are set ex-works to enable the door to be opened wide.

However, if the opening angle of the door needs to be limited for any reason, the hinge can be adjusted to accommodate this.

For example, if the appliance door hits an adjacent wall when opened, the opening angle can be limited to 90°.

^Place the locking pins supplied for limiting the door opening into the hinges from above.

The door opening is now limited to 90°.

If you would like the appliance door to be cushioned so that it opens more softly, the spring tension on the appliance door can be adjusted.

To do this, use the allen key supplied to adjust the door hinges.

aTo reduce the opening angle:

^Turn the allen key clockwise.

This tightens the hinges and makes it harder to open the door wide open.

bTo open the door fully:

^Turn the allen key anticlockwise.
