Limiting The Opening Angle Of The Appliance Door; Adjusting The Appliance Door Hinges - Miele K 32223 i Operating And Installation Instructions

Limiting the opening angle of
the appliance door
The door hinges are set ex works to
enable the appliance door to be opened
wide.
However if the opening angle of the
appliance door needs to be limited for
any reason, the hinge can be adjusted
to accommodate this.
If the appliance door hits an adjacent
wall when opened, for example, the
opening angle can be limited to approx.
90°:
The locking pins for limiting the door
opening must be fitted before the
refrigeration appliance is installed.
 Insert the locking pins supplied for
limiting the door opening into the
hinges from above.
The appliance door opening angle is
now limited to approx. 90°.
Adjusting the appliance door
hinges
If you would like the appliance door to
be cushioned so that it opens more
softly, the spring tension on the
appliance door can be adjusted:
To do this, use an Allen key to adjust
the door hinges.
 To reduce the appliance door
opening angle:
 Turn the Allen key clockwise.
This tightens the hinges and makes it
harder to open the door wide.
 To open the appliance door fully:
 Turn the Allen key anti-clockwise.
The hinge is looser, making it easier to
open the door.
