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. Open the door fully and use a screwdriver to pry the
hinge clips away from the hinge slots. (See Photo A.)
2. Flip the hinge clip toward you (see Photo B).
3. Close the door until it stops against the hinge clips. The
open hinge clips will hold the door open at a slight
angle.
4. Grasp the door firmly on the ends of the door handle,
and lift the door up. (There will be some spring
resistance to overcome.) When the door is lifted
sufficient to clear the hinge hooks, the door can be
pulled straight out. (See Photo C.)
5. Place the door in a safe and stable location.
