Changing the door hinging
Removing the upper soft-close
mechanism
Open the upper appliance door.
If a door seal is damaged the
door will not close properly and
cooling performance will be reduced.
Condensate will build up in the
interior and this can cause a build-up
of ice.
Do not damage the door seals.
Loosen the panel from the soft-
close mechanism by inserting a flat-
headed screwdriver into the gaps
from below and, taking care,
gradually lift the panel off.

Push the panel toward the
appliance and leave it hanging there
between the door and appliance for
the time being.
Place the safety device (supplied
with the refrigerator) 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.
