Changing the door direction
7 Changing the door direction
NOTICE
Risk of damage due to colliding doors!*
If you are installing V-ZUG Side-by-Side (SBS) appliances
next to another appliance:
u Install the appliances so that the doors open outwards.
Switch the door hinges, if necessary.
WARNING
Risk of injury due to the door dropping out!
If the fastening parts are not screwed into place firmly enough,
the door may drop out. This may lead to severe injuries. What is
more, the door may not close and therefore the appliance may
fail to cool properly.
u Screw the hinges and the ball journal of the soft stop mecha-
nism firmly into place, with 4 Nm.
u Screw the holder of the soft stop mechanism firmly into
place, with at least 3 Nm.
u Check all of the screws and retighten if necessary.
Note
You can change the direction of the door only if there is enough
room at the top to remove the hinge fixing brackets and refit
them on the opposite side. This is rarely the case once the unit
is installed in the recess.
u Change the direction of the door before the appliance is
installed.
Risk of injury here! Follow the safety notes!
These instructions apply to a range of models. Follow
this step only if it applies to your appliance.
