REMOVING THE OVEN DOOR

The oven door can be lifted off for your convenience in cleaning hard to reach areas inside the oven.

• Use caution when removing the door as it is very heavy.

To Remove the Oven Door

1.Fully open the oven door.

2.Raise the U-clip over the hook on each of the hinges to the "locked" position (see illustration below). This will prevent the hinge from snapping closed when the door is removed.

3.Grasp the door by the sides toward the back. Raise the front of the door several inches (there will be some spring resistance to overcome because of the hinge being locked). When the front of the door is high enough, you will be able to lift the hinges to clear the indents.

4.Pull the hinges out of the slots in the oven front frame.

To Replace the Oven Door

1.Grasp the sides of the door at the center and insert the ends of the hinges into the slots in the oven front frame as far as they will go (see illustration below).

2.With the door open all the way, lower the two locking clips.

3.Raise the oven door and make sure that it fits evenly with the front sides.

WARNING:

With the door off, never release the levers and try to close the hinges. Without the weight of the door, the powerful springs will snap the hinges closed with great force.
