Changing the door hinges
Removing the upper soft-close
mechanism
Open the upper machine door.
If the door seal is damaged, the
machine door may not close properly
and cooling performance will be re-
duced.
Condensation will form in the inside
and this can cause a build-up of ice.
Do not damage the door seal.
Loosen the panel from the soft-
close mechanism by inserting a flat-
headed screwdriver into the gaps
from below and, taking care, gradu-
ally lifting the panel off.

Push the panel toward the ma-
chine and leave it hanging there be-
tween the door and machine to start
with.
Place the safety device (supplied
with the machine) on the soft-close
mechanism so that it engages.
The safety device prevents the hinge
from snapping shut.
Do not remove the red safety device
until instructed to do so.
Gently loosen the cover from the
latch by inserting a flat-headed
screwdriver from above and below.
