perfectly, pull it out and rotate for 180°.

• Should the seal not adhere to the casing of

the appliance perfectly, it will have to be

heated from a suitable distance (by means

of hair drier, for example) and lightly

stretched to the required height. In certain

models it is not possible to replace the door
