Removing and Replacing Burners for Cleaning

To Remove Burners

1.Remove shipping screws with a Phillips Head screwdriver. See illustration for screw locations.

2.Tilt the burner at the end closest to the support bar until the Iocator tab is released (front burners tilt right, rear burners tilt left). Move the burner toward the back of the range. This will separate it from the gas valve at the front of the range.

To Replace Burners

1.Slide the burner tube over the gas valve at the front of the range (front burners fit over the right valve, rear burners fit over the left valve on each side of the range).

2.Tilt burner so that the locating tab will slide into the slot on the support bar. Make sure burners are properly seated on support bar and are level.

3.Replace shipping screws if desired.

DO NOT turn the burners on when the cooktop is raised for cleaning. Be sure

 

that the top is completely lowered and securely in place before turning on the burners.

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)

6.To clean oven door, follow the instructions in the General Care & Cleaning table.

To Replace Oven Door:

1. Be sure the hinge arms remain at the 45 degree angle position. Be sure the screws are still locking the hinge arms from moving. If the screws fall out of the hinge holes, the hinge(s) may snap back against the oven frame and could pinch fingers or chip
