Door Reversal - Electrolux ER8998B Instruction Book

Door Reversal

1. Close the cabinet and remove the plug from the
electrical socket.
2. Remove the ventilation grille. There is a part on
the grille that can be removed. Reposition it and put
it on the other side.
3. Put the cabinet on a wooden board when it is laid
down. Later, when raising the cabinet, it will be
easier to grip under the cabinet thanks to the board.
4. Unscrew the lower hinge and remove the lower
door. Unscrew the upper hinge pin and remove the
upper door.
5. On the centre beam:
Remove the plastic plugs by driving a drift into them
and rocking them loose.
Move the centre hinge unit to the other side. Flatten
the threads in the holes remaining from the hinges
and insert new plastic plugs.
6. On the doors: Change the positions of the door
fittings. Put a new plug in the hole on the lower
door.
7. Replace the upper door and secure the upper hinge
pin.
Replace the lower door. Change the position of the
hinge pin of the lower hinge. Then secure the hinge.
Remove any play in the door by adjusting the height
of the lower hinge with the supplied spanner. Secure
with the lock-nut.
8. Raise the cabinet and replace the ventilation grille.
9. Change the position of the handle.
Remove the cover washers concealing the screws. If
the washers are difficult to remove, use a small, flat
screwdriver.
Then unscrew the handle.
Carefully press the plastic plugs into the holes on the
side opposite that of the door using a drift. Secure
the handle in the plug holes. If the handle is
mounted by hand, then turn the screws in the holes a
couple of times prior to securing the handle. Press
the supplied plastic plugs into the holes to which the
handle was previously fitted.
10. Put the cabinet in position. Check that it stands
straight. See the section "Positioning the cabinet".
