must be
allowed to
stabilise in an
upright
position for at
least 1 hour
before being
switched on.
17. After
reversing the
door(s), it is
important to
check that the
sealing strip
provides a
tight seal all
the way
round.
If it
does not,
carefully
heat the
strip all the
way round
using a hair
dryer. Then
ease the
strip
outwards
slightly so
that it forms
a tight seal
against the
cabinet. Be
careful not
to heat the
strip so
much that it
melts!
