screws from the top hinge (approx.

NOTE
* We do not recommend to using an
electric tool to unscrew and screw parts
because it may damage the screw threads
or cause screw heads to be stripped off.
However, if you have an electric tool with
torque control, the torque cannot be larg-
er than 6 N·m (53 in.lb).
NOTE
Keep the screws so they can be used
on the opposite side.

Place the door on a padded surface to
avoid damage.
