The perfect way to open and close the refrigerator door: K hinges from Hettich K hinges – great in the cold Hettich is re-defining the perfect kitchen: Convenience every step of the way from kitchen furniture to fitted appliance. High-quality K hinges for integratable refrigerators and freezers open and close refrigerator and freezer doors with a feel of unsurpassed luxury. The K ­ 99 hinge closes laden doors weighing up to 45 kg, the K02 doors weighing up to 60 kg, the K08 hinge doors weighing up to 70 kg. The K05 hinge can carry loads of 100 kg and is particularly suitable for very large, fully integratable refrigerators and freezers. An integrated spring system makes sure doors reliably stay closed and tightly sealed. 2 K hinges open doors to a generous angle of 115°. This provides convenient access and a better view of contents. Also highly practical is the controlled door-opening system that prevents the door from springing open and colliding with adjacent furniture elements. It allows the door to be stopped in different opening positions. Intelligent solution: More space in the refrigerator and freezer As the use of K hinges makes additional furniture hinges unnecessary, better use can be made of space. This can give as much as 12 litres more refrigerating or freezing capacity. New star in the refrigerator The star among refrigerator hinges is the K08 hinge. The hinge with integrated soft-closing function shuts refrigerator doors reliably, gently and quietly. The wide closing angle and the specially developed soft-closing system make shutting the door particularly convenient. A nudge is all it takes for the door to close all by itself. Perfectly balanced closing action keeps everything in its place in the refrigerator door, making clinking bottles and loudly banging doors a thing of the past. 3 Using K hinges Example applications Installing a sliding decor door and a fixed door Example applications Selecting the right hinge for your needs depends on the size, width and weight of the refrigerator door. This produces the following example applications. Ideally, door height should be greater than door width. 1720 1720 K99 K02 1250 door width Türbreite K08 K08 1250 ≤ 45kg ≤ 60kg ≤ 50kg ≤ 70kg ≤ 600 ≤ 600 ≤ 600 ≤ 600 1720 K05 - S K05 - L K05 - X ≤ 92kg ≤ 75kg ≤ 110kg ≤ 900 ≤ 600 ≤ 900 1200 door width Türbreite Installation Whereas installing a sliding decor door in front of the actual refrigerator door requires additional furniture hinges, all that is needed to mount a fixed door are the K hinges from Hettich. They cannot be used for installing a sliding decor door. Mounting a door requires the use of one hinge A and one hinge B. Refrigerator door and furniture door are firmly joined together using a 3D installation system. 600 600 A furniture Möbelhinges scharniere Installing a sliding decor door set of Garnitur K hinges K-Scharniere Installing a fixed door B 4 www.hettich.com Installing a fixed door Changing the door mounting side 3-D installation system Changing the door mounting side 600 The hinges can be transposed for right or left opening without any major effort.

With the pin fitted, the hinge only opens to 90°. The opening limiter pin is installed from above. Technik für Möbel 5 K99 and K02 hinges Diagrams Installation diagrams The diagrams show the K99 hinge fitted. The hinge is fitted in two stages. 1. Connect the hinge’s door bearing to the appliance door. 2. Engage the hinge in the refrigerator carcase at keyholes. These steps can be performed very easily and quickly. A cover cap can be fitted to conceal the visible screws. Door bearing on appliance door Refrigerator carcase and hinge are connected at keyholes that can be concealed with a cover cap. Installed dimensions / differentiator K99 and K02 hinges have identical dimensions. The hole marked in the diagram is provided to tell the two hinges apart. The hole in the K02 hinges distinguishes it from the K99 hinge. 96 (45) 41,5 25 Note The loading capacity and life of the hinges is largely determined by the rigidity and stability of the refrigerator cabinet and its door. 6 www.hettich.com K99 and K02 hinges Connecting hinge to refrigerator door Different refrigerator door types make it necessary to use hinges of the appropriate design. Generally speaking, a distinction is drawn between installed depths of 41.5 mm and 45 mm. Some refrigerator doors are made entirely of metal sheet. Some refrigerator doors also have a top and bottom plastic cap. In this case the door bearing must extend over the plastic cap as far as the metal door so that it can be screwed down. This results in different hinge configurations.

Closing assistance should only be activated once the hinge has been installed. This is done by moving the screw from position 0 to 1. Note The loading capacity and life of the hinges is largely determined by the rigidity and stability of the refrigerator cabinet and its door. Technik für Möbel 17 K05 hinge Connecting hinge to refrigerator door What makes the K05 hinge so special is the fact that it lets the appliance door open to a particularly wide angle. This makes it possible to pull out refrigerator and freezer compartments all the way as they are not obstructed by the door. The K05 hinge is also designed for American installation situations such as face frame. The hinge’s wide opening angle prevents any collision with adjacent furniture elements. However, installation at a wall requires a wider vertical frame.
