Changing the door hinging

Changing the door hinging

The appliance is delivered with right-hand hinging. If left-hand door hinging is preferred, then follow these instructions to change the door hinge.

Remove the door handles

Begin by releasing the sidebars from the door handles, as follows:

^When you pull on the door handle a, the sidebar b moves backward and creates a gap d between the handle sidebar b and the mounting plate c for the handle.

^Use a blunt object (such as a wooden spoon handle) to keep the gap d open, and push the handle slowly back toward the door.

Make sure that the blunt object does not slip and damage the appliance.

The sidebar b will now come loose.

^Pull it b out of the track.

^Now loosen the 4 screws (Torx 15) in the mounting plate and remove the handle.

^Remove the covers from the opposite side and place them on the holes that are left.

Switching the appliance doors

^Pull off the cover a.

^With the door closed, unscrew the lower hinge bracket b, then remove the door downward.

^Now place the panel d in position on the opposite side.

^Remove the hinge parts c from the hinge bracket b, and re-insert them in the second hole on the hinge bracket.

^With the upper door of the appliance f closed, pull the bearing pin e downward to remove.

^Open the upper appliance door, then remove it by pulling it downward.
