To remove the oven door

•To prevent possible burns, do not attempt to remove the oven door until the oven has completely cooled.

•To avoid possible injury to hands when removing or replacing the oven door, follow the instructions below carefully and always hold the oven door with hands positioned away from the door hinge area (See Fig. 3).

IMPORTANT

The oven door is heavy. Be careful when removing and lifting the door. Do not lift the oven door by the handle.

1.Fully open the oven door.

2.Unlock both oven door hinge locks by pulling them up and away from the oven frame until they stop (unlocked position) -Fig.2-. If needed use a small flat-bladed screwdriver to assist with loosening the door hinge locks.

3.Firmly grasp both sides of oven door -Fig.3-.

4.Before completing this step, be prepared to hold the whole weight of the door while grasping the sides of the oven door with both hands. Hold midway down the oven door sides. Close the oven door to about 4 inches and continue closing beyond the door stop position. The oven door should release from the frame on its own -Fig.3-.

5.Carefully lift door away evenly, slightly up and out until both hinge arms are clear of the hinge slots in the oven frame -Fig.3-.After door has been removed, be sure to lay the door flat with the inside of the door downward (never rest the oven door with any weight on the door handle).

To replace the oven door

1.Firmly grasp the oven door along both sides just below the door handle. When positioning the door hinge arms with the door hinge slots in the oven frame, you may wish to use your knee to stabilize the door before attempting to insert the door hinge arms in the hinge slots.

2.Position the angle of the door to the door removal angle and carefully insert the door hinge arms fully and evenly into the door hinge slots. Carefully let the weight of the door transfer from your hands so that the oven now supports the oven door.

3.Open the oven door down to the fully open position.

4.With the door in the fully open position, push both oven door hinge locks toward the oven frame until they both are locked.

5.Close the oven door.
