Reversing the door

We recommend you seek the help of another individual to support the doors whilst performing this operation

1.Carefully prise off the cover cap for the top hinge and unscrew the screws fixing the top hinge to the appliance, you should support the upper door whilst doing this.

2.Carefully remove the upper door and place it somewhere safe. Note that there are spacers between the door and the hinge; note how many and their position.

3.Remove the central hinge by removing the 3 screws fixing it to the appliance; support the lower door whilst doing this.

4.Remove the lower door and place it somewhere safe, again noting the position of any spacer pieces.

5.Swap the bottom hinge to the opposite side.

6.Refit the lower door using any spacers and position the central hinge on the door. After removing the 3 cover caps, fix the hinge securely to the appliance.

7.The top hinge and replacement cover hinge covers are included in the fittings pack. Refit the upper door and the new top hinge and fix it securely to the appliance.

8.Fit the central cover caps and top hinge cover pieces in place to complete the process.

Ensuring the door seals correctly:

It is normal for the seal to be compressed after the door has been reversed.

With the door closed, use a hair dryer to cause the seal to expand and fill the gap between the door and the body of the appliance.

Take care not to use the hair dryer too close to the appliance, which could damage the seal. A distance of approximately 10 cm should be adequate.

When completed, allow the seal and door to cool before touching them.

Once done, the seal will remain in position.
