    There seems to be no option to remove the front door without damaging the hinge. There seems to be no spring for one of the hinge to lower down and remove the door. Also, if your RN214 is still under warranty it might be best not to remove it so as not to void the warranty.

     

    Other users might have tried this though so they might be able to provide some instructions.

      Since the door forms a part of the cooling airflow design, why would you want to change that?  Are you observing cooling issues that leaving the door open solved?

        Hi Sandshark

        The position of my 214 is abit restricted to the sides, plus it is the only position I can use it,

        I do find with the door open the airflow seems to be better.

        Kind regards

      Thanks for the prompt reply,

      I couldn't find away to do this also, just thought I would ask incase there was something I missed.

      Thanks
