Installing The Oven; Bottom Hinge Doors Only - Remove - Bosch HBL5351UC Installation Manual

Installing the Oven
WARNING
• 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 burns.
• The oven door is heavy and fragile. Use both
hands to remove the oven door. The door front
is glass. Handle carefully to avoid breaking.
• Grasp only the sides of the oven door. Do not
grasp the handle as it may swing in your hand
and cause damage or injury.
• Failure to grasp the oven door firmly and
properly could result in personal injury or
product damage.
• To avoid injury from hinge bracket snapping
closed, be sure that both levers are securely in
place before removing the door. Also, do not
force door open or closed - the hinge could be
damaged and injury could result.
• Do not lay removed door on sharp or pointed
objects as this could break the glass. Lay on a
flat, smooth surface, positioned so that the
door cannot fall over.
Bottom Hinge Doors Only - Remove
Prior to Install
Important: Do not attempt to remove the side hinge
door (side hinge doors are found only on select models).
Ovens with bottom hinge doors permit the oven door(s) to
be removed prior to lifting the unit into place. Each door
weighs approximately 40 pounds (18.1 kg). Removing and
replacing the door are routinely simple procedures.
Removing the door lightens the unit significantly and
provides easier access to the recommended handhold
inside the oven cavity. See instructions below.
,
Be sure to read all
warnings and cautions
in the installation
manual regarding the
door removal before
attempting to remove
the door.
2. Open the door
completely.
3. Flip latch levers on
hinges toward you.
,
Holding the door firmly
on both sides and
using both hands,
close the door gently
until it stops against
the latch levers, about
30 ° from the closed
position.
,
Carefully lift the door
up and out of the
hinge slots. Hold
firmly; the door is
heavy.
,
Place the door in a
convenient and stable
location until you are
ready to reinstall it.
Lay the door on a
towel or section of
protective foam
padding to avoid
damage to the door or
the floor.
Placing the Oven Unit Into the Cabinet
Opening
CAUTION
To avoid damage to the door do not lift, pull or push
the unit during installation by using the oven door
handle as a gripping point.
It is recommended to wear gloves and long sleeves
to protect hands and forearms from abrasion and
potential scratches during the lifting process. It is
also recommended to take off watches and jewelry
and to wear work shoes during installation for foot
protection.
When lifting the unit into place avoid grasping the upper
element to avoid damaging it. See the illustration following
for the correct lifting point for a bottom hinge double oven
with the lower door removed. This illustration shows a
detailed view of the oven cavity. Note the location of the
ridge inside the top of the cavity. This is the area to grip
from the front when lifting the oven.
For your particular oven type, see the preceeding section
"Lifting Recommendations Vary Dependent Upon Oven
Door Type" for lift points.
