Common questions
How do I recognise fixed and sliding door fittings?
With a sliding fitting, the furniture door has its own hinges on the cabinet; a sliding rail connects it to the appliance door. With a fixed fitting, the furniture front is attached directly to the appliance door and carried by its hinges. Open the door and compare the visible attachments with the manual.
