DOOR REVERSAL
Important Notes for Guidance:
Before commencing any work refer to the Safety Notes at the beginning of this manual.
Read the instructions below fully and refer to the diagrams
on
the right before carrying out the door
reversal.
Note: Before commencing the door reversal, you will require the left door stops and centre
hinge blanking plugs normally supplied loose with the literature pack that comes with the
appliance. If the door stops are not available then they will need to be ordered before
proceeding.
A:
Reversing the
Top
Hinge
Remove the top hinge blanking plug from the top of the
fridge door.
Unclip the inner door hinge surround strip.
While supporting the fridge door, unscrew and remove
the top hinge pin and lift the door from the centre hinge
(Fig. 1a).
While supporting the freezer door remove the centre
hinge and lift the door from the bottom hinge pin
(Fig. 1b).
Remove the upper door hinge, invert and transfer it
over to the other side. The original fixing screws are
reused to refit it (Fig. 1 c).
Remove the hinge blanking covers from the control
panel and remove the top hinge, invert and transfer
them over to the other side. The original fixing screws
are reused to refit it (Fig. 2).
B:
Front Base Moulding (Plinth)
Unscrew the two front screws securing the plinth to the
base and remove plinth. Remove the lower hinge and
slide down the fixing plate, transfer them both to the left
hand side. The hinge pin also needs to be transferred
to the left pre-threaded hole (Fig. 3).
Before the plinth is screwed back
in
place, cut out the
pre-marked blanking plate on the left side and use the
blanking plate supplied over to the right side. (Fig.
3).
C:

Top
Hinge Bushes and Door
Stops
Remove the bottom right hand door stops and fit the left
hand door stops (supplied with the appliance) into the
bottom left hand side
of
both doors. Locate the door
stop peg and secure
in
place with the original self-
tapping screw (Fig. 4).
Transfer the top blanking plug to the right side
of
the
fridge door.
