Care and Cleaning
Removing and Replacing the Oven Door
Important: The door is very heavy. For safe, temporary storage,
lay the door flat with the inside of the door facing down.
To prevent possible burns, do not attempt to remove the oven
door until the oven has completely cooled. To remove the oven
door:
1. Open oven door completely, horizontal with floor.
2. Pull up the lock located on each hinge support toward front
of the oven until the lock stops. You may have to apply a
little upward pressure on the lock to pull it up (Figure 36
and Figure 37).
3. Grasp the door by the sides, and close the door until the
door frame makes contact with the unlocked hinges.
4. Pull the bottom of the door toward you while rotating the
top of the door toward the appliance to completely
disengage the hinge levers (Figure 38).
To Replace Oven Door:
Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides. Do
not use the oven door handle (Figure 38).
Hold the oven door at the same angle as the removal position.
Carefully insert the hinge levers into the oven frame until you
feel the hinge levers are seated into the hinge notches. The
hinge arms must be fully seated into the hinge notches before
the oven door can be fully opened. (Figure 38).
Fully open the oven door, horizontal with floor (Figure 35).
Push the door hinge locks up toward and into the oven frame on
both left and right oven door hinges to the locked position
(Figure 36).
Close the oven door.
Special Care Instructions
Most oven doors contain glass that can break. Follow these
recommendations:
• Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully
in place inside the oven cavity.
• Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object.
• Scratching, hitting, jarring, or stressing the glass may
weaken its structure causing an increased risk of breakage
at a later time.
