The door lock mechanism should be positioned through the control panel as shown (Figure 5)
ensuring that the shim washers are correctly located (Figure 4).

The securing screws for the door lock assembly should only be screwed in enough to allow the
the lock assembly to still be moved.
With the door closed, the latch operation should be observed from the front of the appliance to
ensure that the latch can be manually pushed into the closed position and can be seen to be
locking the door shut.
With the latch being held in the down position, the door lock mechanism should then be manualy
tested by pushing over the lock mechanism with a screwdriver (figure 6). The lock mechanism
should be free to lock and unlock without any undue strain. If the lock mechanism cannot be
moved freely, the door lock assembly should be moved slightly and retested as above. The door
lock screws should then be fully tightened.
