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).

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 using fingers.
