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.
• Unscrew the kick-plate and remove it by
pushing downwards.
• Unscrew the lower hinge and take off the lower
door together with the middle hinge washer.
• Unscrew the middle hinge and take off the
upper door together with the upper hinge
washer. Remove the fastener on the opposite
side of the appliance (on the place where the
middle hinge is fixed).
• Unscrew the upper hinge fastener and fix it on
the opposite side of the appliance.
• Take off, change and replace the door hinge
fixture and the fixture plugs.
• Put the upper hinge washer and the upper door
on the upper hinge fastener.
• Rotate the middle hinge for 180° and fix it on
the opposite side of the appliance. Put the
middle hinge washer and the lower door on the
hinge from the lower side.
• Put the lower hinge on the lower door and fix it.

• Replace the cover plate of the lower hinge to
the opposite side of the kick-plate and place it
to the appliance.
• In case your appliance is equipped with a
handle mounted on the side of the appliance,
take it off and replace it on the other side. (If
there is more than one handle, replace them all,
following the same procedure.)
Some screws are covered with caps. Take
them off before undoing the screws.
• Use the decorative caps and plug the remaining
middle hinge holes as well as the remaining
holes of the side handles (if you have a model
with side handles).
• Check the gasket, it shouldn't be creased and it
should seal well.
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.
