Removing and Replacing the Oven Door
The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, lay the doorflat with
the inside of the door facing down.
To Remove Oven Door:
1. Open oven door completely (horizontal with floor- See Fig. 1).
2. Remove 2 screws located on the inside of the oven door liner (See A Fig. 2)
3. Insert the 2 screws into the door hinge holes located on the side of the
hinge arm, one into each hinge (See B Fig. 2).
4. Close oven door until the door stops (Do not force the door to close any
further). The placement of these screws should keep door open in about a
45 degree position.
5. Grasp oven door firmly on both sides and slide door up and off hinges at the
same angle. (See Fig. 3)
6. To clean oven door, follow the instructions in the Care & Cleaning table
(page 11).
To Replace Oven Door:
1. Be sure the hinge arms remain at the 45 degree angle position. Be sure the
screws are still locking the hinge arms from moving. If the screws fall out of
the hinge holes, the hinge(s) may snap back against the oven frame and
could pinch fingers or chip the porcelain finish on the oven front frame.
2. Hold door at the sides near the top while resting the lower front of door on
your knee. Insert the door channels at the bottom of door over the door
hinges, (See Fig. 3).
3. Allow the door to slide down into the door hinges evenly at the same 45
degree angle. The hinge arms should be inserted into the bottom corners
as far as they can go.
4. Open door completely (horizontal with floor) and remove both screws from
holes in door hinges.
5. Reinstall the 2 screws into the door liner (See C Fig. 2).
6. If the door is not in alignment with the oven frame, remove door and repeat
the above steps.
