7.1.3 Replacing Hinges

The doors on Bosch Benchmark series slide-in ranges are
QuietClose™ and operate using one dampen hinge and one spring
hinge. The hinges are offered in service kits which include both the
RH and LH hinges; always replace hinges in pairs.

NOTICE
The dampen hinge has a cylinder inside which holds oil that acts as
the dampening fluid and causes the soft-close effect. The oil must be
in the bottom of the cylinder. If the door does not close softly, allow
the hinge time to recover in the vertical position (door closed) for 15-
30 minutes, then re-test door operation. See bulletin packed with
hinge kits for more information.
To access the hinges...
1. Remove the door as described in the Removing and
Reinstalling the Door section.
2. With the porcelain-coated door liner up, remove the two
screws on each side of the door liner.
3. Remove the screws along the bottom of the door assembly.
