Yes, you can reverse the door on your TESLA RU1700H Vertical Freezer to better fit your kitchen layout. Here's how, based on typical procedures, but always consult your user manual for specific instructions and safety guidelines.
- Safety First: Unplug the freezer and empty it completely.
- Stabilize the Unit: Tilt the freezer back and rest it securely on a stable surface to prevent it from sliding.
- Top Hinge Removal: Remove the top right hinge cover. Unscrew and detach the hinge bracket.
- Cover and Core Adjustment: Remove the top left cover and transfer the core cover from the left side to the right side.
- Upper Door Handling: Carefully lift the upper door and place it on a protected surface to prevent scratches.
- Bottom Hinge Detachment: Unscrew the bottom hinge. Remove the adjustable feet from both sides.
- Hinge Bracket Reversal: Unscrew and remove the bottom hinge pin, flip the bracket, and then reattach it.
- Bottom Hinge Reassembly: Refit the bracket, insert the bottom hinge pin, and replace the adjustable feet.
- Upper Door Reinstallation: Carefully place the upper door back, ensuring it's aligned horizontally and vertically so that the seals create a tight closure on all sides before tightening the top hinge.
- Top Hinge Reattachment: Reinstall the hinge bracket and secure it to the top of the unit. Use a spanner if necessary.
- Cover Replacement: Replace the hinge cover and the xxxx cover (specific to your model).
- Final Checks: With the door closed, verify the alignment (horizontal and vertical) and that the seals are properly closed on all sides. Tighten the bottom hinge and readjust the leveling feet as needed.
It's often helpful to have two people assisting during this process for easier handling and accurate door alignment. Remember, avoid laying the freezer flat to prevent any potential damage to the coolant system. Always refer to your TESLA RU1700H user manual for the most detailed and model-specific instructions and safety precautions.
