Reversing the doors
The doors can be changed from right-hinged to left-hinged and vice versa as follows:
1. Lay the appliance on its back with the
doors uppermost.
8. Opposite the hinge, there are two
screws covered by plastic caps.
Remove the caps and screws.
13. Refit the kick plate
14. Adjust the lower hinge and tighten.
2. Remove the upper hinge.
3. Move the plastic plugs to where the
upper hinge was fitted.
4. Lift off the upper door and lay it aside.
9. Turn the central bridging plate and insert
the pins into the slots on the opposite side.
10. Refit the screws and plastic caps.
15. Fit the lower door and attach the
middle hinge.
16. Adjust the hinge and tighten.
5. Remove the door-closer and refit it on
the opposite side.
11. Remove the kick plate by pulling it
outwards and upwards.
17. Fit the upper door.
18. Keep the door-closer to the left.
19. Fit the upper hinge.
6. Remove the middle hinge by unscrewing
the screws.
7. Lift off the lower door and lay it aside.
12. Remove the screws holding the lower
hinge in place. Turn the pin on which
the door was mounted so that it points
in the opposite direction. Rotate the
hinge through 180° and refit it on the
opposite side of the appliance.
20. Remove the door handles and refit
them on the opposite side. Refit the caps.
21. The appliance must be allowed to
stabilise in an upright position for at least
1 hour before being switched on.
22. After reversing the door(s), it is important to check that the sealing strip provides a tight seal all the way round.
If it does not, carefully heat the strip all the way round using a hair dryer. Then ease the strip outwards slightly so that it forms a tight
seal against the cabinet.
Be careful not to heat the strip so much that it melts!
