Removing and Replacing the Oven Door

The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, lay the door flat 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 General Care & Cleaning table.
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.
