If you wish to change the opening direction of the
doors, proceed as follows:
1. Open the freezer door. Remove the plinth (A) at the
bottom of the appliance, by pushing downwards
and pulling outwards. (See fig 5)
2. Remove the hinge cover (B) in the plinth and repo-
sition on the opposite side of the plinth.
3. Whilst supporting the lower door, use a 8mm nut
driver to remove the 4 hinge retaining bolts and
remove the lower hinge.
4. Carefully lower the door off the central hinge.
5. Support the upper door and remove the two secu-
ring screws from the centre hinge. Remove the
hinge, taking care that the upper door does not fall,
retain the plastic spacer washer.
6. Carefully remove the upper door.
7. Unscrew the small blanking plugs (3) and refit on
the opposite side to cover the vacant hinge holes.
8. Unscrew the hinge pin (4) in the upper and lower
hinge blades and refit on the opposite side.
9. Change the door self-closing system (5) by moving
the device from the freezer door and viceversa.
10. Refit the spacer washers and the upper door onto
the upper hinge pin and refit the centre hinge in
position.
11. Relocate the lower door onto the central hinge pin,
and refit the lower hinge assembly.
12. Refit the plinth.
After reversing the door ensure the internal light turns
off when the fridge door is closed, and the door gasket
seals correctly to the cabinet. If the gasket is not sea-
ling correctly, apply warm air to the non-sealing area
using a hair dryer set to gentle heat.
This will make the rubber more supple and allow it to
revert to its original shape and seal correctly.
