SoftClose hinges are used on the oven doors to prevent slamming
and ensure smooth operation. Before removing the door, it is
necessary to remove a hinge locking plate and open the hinge locking
lever on each side of the door in order to remove tension from the
hinge springs.
Removing the Door
1. Open door fully until parallel to the floor.
2. Remove T20 screw securing hinge locking plate (A); lift locking
plate upwards, then pivot outward to remove (B). Repeat on
other side of door, and retain the screws and locking plates.
