Adjusting Door
Tension
The door has an internal torsion bar, pretensioned at the factory, that lets the
door self-close. If necessary, the door tension can be further adjusted by
rotating the capstan mounted in the bottom hinge bracket.
To adjust the door tension
Replacing the
Torsion Bar
When the door tension can no longer be adjusted, replace the torsion bar.
To replace the torsion bar
1. Remove the split pin from the capstan at the bottom hinge.
2. Remove the tension bracket from the bottom hinge.
3. Use a tool to apply tension
to the door via the
capstan. First, rotate the
capstan against the door
opening direction to
remove any slack. Once
resistance is felt, continue
to rotate 180° to provide
tension.
While holding door tension
on the capstan, fit the
tension bracket to the top
screw hole so that it
supports the door tension
on the capstan.

4. Fit the split pin through the
hole in the capstan to lock
the door in place.
5. Check door tension by holding the door open about 100mm and letting it go.
The door should gently close, with the gasket forming an airtight seal with the
cabinet.

The torsion bar
cannot easily be removed
from the door. Cut the old
torsion bar and push it into
the door frame.
Fit the capstan, bush and
bush washer to the new
torsion bar, and fit this
assembly into the bottom of
the door.
3. Refit the door (see page 34).
