Removing and 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 the oven door:

1.Open oven door completely, horizontal with floor (See Figure 23).

2.Pull the door hinge locks on both left and right door hinges down from the oven frame completely toward the oven door (See Figure 24). A tool such as a small flat-blade screwdriver may be required.

3.Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides. Do not use the oven door handle (See Figure 25).

4.Close the door to approximately 10 degrees from the door frame (See Figure 25).

5.Lift the oven door hinge arms over the roller pins located on each side of the oven frame (See Figure 25).

To Replace Oven Door:

1.Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides. Do not use the oven door handle (See Figure 25).

2.Holding the oven door at the same angle as the removal position, seat the hook of the hinge arm over the roller pins located on each side of the oven door frame (See Figure 25 and Figure 26). The hook of the hinge arms must be fully seated onto the roller pins.

3.Fully open the oven door, horizontal with floor (See Figure 23).

4.Push the door hinge locks up toward and into the oven frame on both left and right oven door hinges to the locked position (See Figure 24).

5.Close the oven door.

Important:

Special Door Care Instructions - Most oven doors contain glass that can break. Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully in place. Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object. Scratching, hitting, jarring, or stressing the glass may weaken its structure causing an increased risk of breakage at a later time.
