Changing the door hinging

The appliance is supplied with a right-hand hinge. If left-hand door hinging is required, follow the instructions below.

Check that the appliance has been disconnected from the electricity supply and unplugged. Danger of electric shock.

To change the door hinging, you will need various sizes of Torx screwdrivers, a pair of flat-nosed pliers and a wrench.

Removing the door handles:

First, the side sections of the handles must be removed:

^Pull door handle a towards you. Side section b slides back, creating a gap d between side section b and mounting plate c.

^Place a suitable object (e.g., a spoon handle) in gap d, and slowly pry the handle towards the door.

Be careful not to let the "spoon handle" slip, causing damage to the appliance.

The side section b can now be removed.

^Pull side section b out of the guides on the mounting plate.

^Loosen the 4 screws in the mounting plate, and remove the handle.

^Remove the cover caps from the opposite side, and fit them into the empty holes.

Removing the freezer section door:

^Carefully pry off cover a using a screwdriver.

^With the appliance door closed, unscrew lower hinge bracket b and then take the door down and off.

^Refit cover cap d on the opposite side.
