8 Changing over door hinges
CAUTION
Risk of injury if soft stop contracts!
u Carefully remove the soft stop mechanism.
CAUTION
Risk of injury if hinges fold!
u Leave hinges open.
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
The door hinges can only be changed over if there is sufficient
space towards the top to pull out the hinge mounting bracket
and to mount it again on the other side. This is generally not the
case after installation in the recess.
u Change the hinges over before the appliance is installed in
the recess.
There is a risk of injury during this stage! Please
observe the safety instructions!
The instructions apply to several models. Only carry
out this step if it is relevant for your appliance.
Choose between the alternatives given.
Loosen the screws only, do not undo them all the way.
