							The door hinges are pre-adjusted so
that the appliance doors can be
opened wide.
By adjusting the hinges the doors can
be modified so they do not open as far.
For example, when the door is opened
if an adjacent wall or piece of furniture
is in the way, the door angle should be
limited to 90°.
^Insert the pins (supplied) into the
hinges from above.
This will limit the opening angle of the
appliance door to 90°.If you would like to cushion the doors
for a more gentle opening, you can
increase the spring force of the
appliance door:
aTo reduce the opening angle:
^
Turn the Allen wrench (provided)
clockwise.
This will tighten the hinge making it
harder to open the door wide.
bTo open the door fully:
^
Turn the Allen wrench (provided)
counterclockwise.
