Changing the Direction of Opening the Door

If you find the direction of opening the door on your appliance inconvenient, you can change it.
Holes on the opposite side have already been prepared in the factory and are now plugged.

• 

Remove the cover on the upper hinge, unscrew the hinge and take off the freezer door (the door
is not fixed on the middle hinge), don't forget to remove the washer from the middle hinge.

• 

Unscrew the upper rail, replace it to the opposite side of the appliance and fix it.

• 

Unscrew the lower hinge with the washer and remove the refrigerator door.

• 

Unscrew the middle hinge.

• 

Take off all door corners and interchange them (instead of the corner with a hole insert the one
without the hole and vice versa).

• 

Remove the washer from the lower hinge and unscrew (rotate it in clockwise) the fastener on the
lower hinge. Fix the lower hinge, without the fastener.

• 

Replace the fastener and the washer in reverse order into the opening of the lower hinge on the
opposite side of the appliance.

• 

Put the refrigerator door on the lower hinge.

• 

Rotate the middle hinge for 180°, replace it to the opposite side of the door and fix it. Put on the
washer first and then the upper door.

• 

Fix the upper hinge and cover it.

• 

Replace the slide guides to the opposite sides of both doors.

• 

Plug the remaining holes with decorative caps.

• 

Check the gasket, it shouldn’t be creased and it should seal well. In case it does not fit perfectly,
pull it out and rotate for 180°.

• 

In certain models it is not possible to replace the door gasket.

• 

Should the seal not adhere to the casing of the appliance perfectly, it will have to be heated from
a suitable distance (by means of hair drier, for example) and lightly stretched to the required
height.
