REVERSING THE DOORS
We recommend that you reverse doors
before switching on for the first time.
Tools required:
Small and medium size
flat and cross-headed screwdrivers, a
pair of pliers.
Spare
Parts supplied in the plastic
bag: The following parts, which are
exclusively for left hand side fitted
hinge operation are supplied in a
plastic bag with the appliance:
- Upper door top trim hinge covers –
there are 2 different parts, one for each
side of top trim.
- Upper door middle hinge bushing/
door stopper assembly.
We suggest you keep all the parts
supplied in the plastic bag and also
parts, which have been removed when
reversing doors, in a safe place for
possible future, re-use.
IMPORTANT:
We suggest you ask
somebody to help you when moving
the appliance around and to hold
doors when removing / re-fitting
hinges and doors to avoid any injury
and damage to the product.
Please refer to diagrams supplied. To
follow numbers in brackets below,
refer to the main diagram.

using fingers.
