Step 8: Door Removal and Reinstallation
,_ CAUTION
USE CAUTION WHEN REMOVING THE
DOOR. THE DOOR IS VERY HEAVY.
• Make sure oven is cool and power to oven has
been turned off before removing the door.
Failure to do so could result in electrical shock
or burns.
• The oven door is heavy and fragile. Use both
hands to remove or replace the door.
• Grasp only the sides of the oven door when
removing or replacing it.
• Failure to grasp the oven door firmly and
properly could result in personal injury and
product damage.
• 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.
To Remove the Oven Door:
1. Fully open the oven door.
2. Flip the hinge clip toward you (see illustration at
right).
3. Close the door until it stops (the open hinge clip
will hold the door about halfway open.
4. Grasp the door on the sides. The door is heavy
and fragile - always use both hands. Lift the door
up and out (there will be some spring resistance
to overcome). When the front of the door is high
enough, you will be able to pull the door straight
out.
5. Place the door in a safe and stable location.
To Reinstall the Oven Door:
1. Hold door on both sides. Insert hinges into hinge
slots. The door will be about halfway open.
It may be necessary to press firmly inward on the
lower portion of the door, using a rocking motion
to fully seat the door's hinges.
2. Open door all the way to expose hinge clips. Push
hinge clips away from you (toward the oven) until
they meet the hinge.
3. Close and open the door slowly to test the
installation. It should open and close smoothly and
be straight, not crooked.
