There should be a long plastic/robber extrusion about the length of the height of the FF.

Matt512 New Member

Any chance of a pic of yours fitted? Makes me wonder if the extrusion should actually be there or not seeing as they seem to ship it without it!

Fit the doors before you put the f/f in the cabinet. Always do that or you will not be able to properly adjust the doors.

Joelp1 New Member

i find that i usually CAN adjust the doors with the fridge in, with a regular pozi screwdriver. Open the appliance door and stick it through the gap between appliance and its door.

Fridge Freezer Buying Advice

The short take away answer is, you cannot change, modify or adapt from one type to another.

Designed That Way

Most integrated fridges and freezers, as well as fridge freezers, have been designed to fit into a housing in a particular way, the actual cabinet shaped to allow that and accommodate the hinge type that is to be used.

But You Can Do It

Yeah, we've heard this from a few people but honestly, to do it there are a few things you need to bear in mind:

Door-on-door installation

With door-on-door installation, the kitchen unit and appliance doors are firmly connected with direct attachment of the unit door to the appliance door. The refrigerator door, therefore, bears the weight of the unit door.

Sliding door installation

In the case of sliding door installation, the unit door is directly attached to the unit using hinges and connected to the appliance door using sliding rails. When opened and closed, the unit door slides along the rails.

Step 1 – Measure Up

Step 2 – Check The Level

Step 3 – Check The Manufacturer’S Kit

Step 4 – Drill The Holes

Step 5 - Screw The Door Into Place

• The measuring and the drilling are the difficult bits to this task; actually hanging the door is the easy part. Use the screws provided in your kit for this task and you should be finished—easy as that. Now your integrated fridge is hidden from view and your kitchen has a uniform look all around!
