Changing the opening
direction of the door
Unplug the freezer before performing the following
operations:
Remove the ventilation grill (D-Fig. 2).
Unscrew the bottom hinge (E-Fig. 2).
Remove the door from the upper pivot (A-Fig. 3).
Remove the pivot and the washer (A+B-Fig. 3) from
the upper hinge (C), then mount these on the opposite
side.
Re-assemble the door.
Screw down the bottom hinge (E-Fig. 2) on the
opposite side by using the screws previously
removed.
Detach the plug (F-Fig. 2) from the ventilation grill
(D). To do this, press it in the direction of the arrow.
Introduce the plug (F), which is delivered with the
appliance, into the hole left free on the opposite side.
Re-assemble the ventilation grill.
Reverse the direction of the handle.
Unscrew the handle. Refit it on the opposite side after
having pierced the plugs with a punch. Cover the
holes left open with the plugs contained in the
documentation pack.
If, after having reversed the door, it is not in line with
the unit, the top hinge can be adjusted.
To do this, use a 10 mm spanner as shown in Fig. 3;
slacken the nut, align the door by pushing it to the left
or right, then re-tighten the nut.
Attention
After completion of the door reversibility operation,
verify that the door gasket is adherent to the cabinet.
If the ambient temperature is cold (i.e. in Winter), the
gasket may not fit perfectly to the cabinet. In that
case, wait for the natural fitting of the gasket or
accelerate this process by heating up the part involved
with a normal hairdrier.
Reversing the quick-freezing
compartment door
(Fig. 5)
Unscrew the closing prong support (H).
Unscrew the two hinges (I) and remove the door.
Turn the closing prong support and fix it to the other
side of the quick-freezing compartment.
Reverse the door and the hinges and mount them on
the other side of the compartment.
Check to see that the door closes correctly.
