If you need to hinge your door on the opposite side we
recommend that you call your local Fisher and Paykel Authorised
Service Centre or Dealer to make this conversion.
Active Smart™ refrigerators with silver handles need to be
ordered either with left or right opening doors and can not be
interchanged.
All other models except those models listed below need to have
an appropriate conversion kit for your model refrigerator.
The kit is available from your Authorised Service Centre or Dealer.
Full instructions are included in the conversion kit.
If you have the following compact model refrigerators you
can change the door by following these instructions:
P120, C190, C270, E150, E210
Switch off the appliance and remove all the food stuffs and
shelves from the doors.
Remove the hinge cover from the top of the cabinet. This is
achieved by levering it up carefully from the front.
Remove the top hinge bracket screws using a ‘Philips’ screwdriver
and remove the top hinge bracket, ensuring that the door is held
firmly. (Refer Fig.2).
Open the door and lift it off.
Insert the plastic hinge plugs supplied with the installation kit
into the removed top hinge bracket holes. Remove the existing
plastic hinge plugs from the opposite side.
Tilt the refrigerator back, either right onto its back or lean it
against a wall, and unscrew both adjustable feet.
Remove the plastic bottom hinge bracket bolt holding the
bottom hinge bracket to the underside of the cabinet. Replace
the bottom hinge bracket bolt without the bottom hinge bracket.
Remove existing cap door closing from bottom hinge bracket.
On the opposite side remove the bottom hinge bracket bolt and
fit the bottom hinge bracket.
Note: that it is rotated so that it is a mirror image of itself on the
other side (refer Fig.3).
Replace the adjustable feet turning them as far as they will go.
Carefully stand the refrigerator upright again.
