Removing & Replacing the Oven Door

The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, lay the door flat with the inside of the door facing down.

To Remove Oven Door:

1.Open oven door completely (horizontal with floor - See Fig. 1).

2.Remove 2 screws located on the inside of the oven door liner (See A Fig. 2)

3.Insert the 2 screws into the door hinge holes located on the side of the hinge arm, one into each hinge (See B Fig. 2).

4.Close oven door until the door stops, (Do not force the door to close any further). The placement of these screws should keep door open in about a 45 degree position.

5.Grasp oven door firmly on both sides and slide door up and off hinges at the same angle. (See Fig. 3)

3.Allow the door to slide down into the door hinges evenly at the same 45 degree angle. The hinge arms should be inserted into the bottom corners as far as they can go.

4.Open door completely (horizontal with floor) and remove both screws from holes in door hinges.
