Adjusting the door hinge

Adjusting the door hinges

If you would like the appliance door to
be cushioned so that it opens more
softly, the spring tension on the appli-
ance door can be adjusted.
To do this, use an Allen key to adjust
the door hinges.
 To reduce the opening angle:
 Turn the Allen key clockwise.
This tightens the hinges and makes it
harder to open the door wide.
 To open the door fully:
 Turn the Allen key counterclockwise.
The hinge is looser, making it easier to
open the door.

Limiting the opening angle of the ap-
pliance door
The door hinges are set at the factory to
enable the appliance door to be opened
wide.
However, if the opening angle of the
door needs to be limited for any reason,
the hinge can be adjusted to accommo-
date this.
If the appliance door hits an adjacent
wall when opened, for example, the
opening angle can be limited to ap-
prox. 90°:
The locking pins for limiting the door
opening must be installed before the
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 approximately 90°.
