The latch won't release. I can see the spring but I can't see where the latch release is. Has anyone had this problem? there is no lock on this door

Slide the black inside handle up or down.

Page 4 of the user's manual explains the door lock operation.

You can down load a copy in the Technical section.

Thanks, I had no idea that you could lock the doors that way. I read the other thread on this but it didn't make sense until I saw the arrows on the inside handle - much appreciated!
