Maintenance

Oven Door

CAUTION

•Do not place excessive weight on or stand on an open oven door. This could cause the range to tip over, break the door, or injure the user.

•Do not attempt to open or close door or operate oven until door is properly replaced.

•Never place fingers between hinge and front oven frame. Hinge arms are spring mounted. If accidentally hit, the hinge will slam shut against oven frame and could injure your fingers.

To remove:

1. When cool, open the oven door to the first stop position (opened about four inches).

2. Grasp door at each side. Do not use the door handle to lift door.

3. Lift up evenly until door clears hinge arms.

To replace:

1.

Grasp door at each side.

2.

Align slots in the door with the hinge arms on the range.

Leveling Legs

CAUTION

Be sure the anti-tip bracket secures one of the rear leveling legs to the floor. This bracket prevents the range from accidentally tipping.

The range should be leveled when installed. If the range is not level, turn the leveling legs, located at each corner of the range, until range is level.

completely seated on the hinges. Push down on the top

corners of the door to completely seat door on hinges.
