VERSION I – CONTROLS IN THE APPLIANCE INTERIOR
Tools required: socket wrench No. 8, Phillips screwdriver, torx 25, flat screwdriver
The procedure to change the direction of door opening should be carried out by at least
two persons.
1. Remove the upper hinge cover (A).
2. Unscrew the upper hinge (B) and remove the upper door (C).
3. Then remove the covering plugs (D), unscrew the mid hinge (E) and remove the lower
door (F) from the lower hinge (G).
4. Tilt the appliance backwards (make sure you do not press against the condenser unit
on the rear wall of the appliance as this may damage the cooling system), unscrew the
lower hinge (G) and the foot (H) and move them to the opposite side. Make sure the
washer is installed like it was before disassembly.
5.
Move the door hinges (I) to the opposite side.
6. Place the middle hinge (E) on the lower door (F) and place the lower door on the lower
hinge (G). Fasten the mid hinge (the door should be open while you do this). Do not
forget to place the washers (J) and covering plugs (M) as they were placed before the
disassembly.
7.
Place the upper door (C) over the middle hinge (E), remove the covering cap (K) and
fasten the upper hinge (B).
8. Install the upper hinge cover (A) and the covering cap (K).
9. Changing the side of the handle (L): remove the covering plugs/caps, undo the screws
and fasten the handle on the opposite side. Place the covering plugs/caps on the
opposite side.
Note: Step 9 (handle replacement) can be skipped on appliances with integrated
handle.
At RETRO and ORA-ITO appliances alteration of door opening
direction is not possible.
