Step 8: Door Removal and
Adjustment
CAUTION:
• USE CAUTION WHEN REMOVING THE DOOR.
THE DOOR IS VERY HEAVY.
• Make sure oven is cool and power to the 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.
• 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 carefully
pry the hinge clips away from the hinge slots (Photo A).
2. Flip the hinge clip toward you (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 (see Figure 23).
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 (Photo C). Place the door in a safe
and stable location.
