steps
- check the cabinet
check the product page for a supported 525 mm single-door cabinet built after april 2007. provide the full model and product code; a similar range name isn't enough.
- check the opening space
facing the fridge, confirm the hinges are now on the left and a right-hinged door will clear the wall and cupboards. don't loosen hinges or support the door by its handle.
- arrange the conversion
give the installer the supplied 320020 instructions. have them support the door safely, carry out the supported change and check the hinges and alignment.
- check the door
the door must open to the intended side without hitting cupboards and close with the seal seated evenly before normal use.
