Oven Door Removal
NOTE: Door removal is not a requirement for installation
of the product but is an added convenience.
To remove the door:
1. Open the oven door as far as it will go.
2. Remove hinge bracket (if present) from front frame
and set aside. The hinge bracket must be replaced
for proper door functionality when door is reinstalled.
3. Push both hinge locks down toward the door frame to
the unlocked position. This may require a flat-blade
screwdriver. DO NOT LIFT THE DOOR BY THE
HANDLE!
4. Place hands on both sides of the door and close the
oven door to the removal position (approximately
1"–2" [2.5 cm–5.1 cm] from the closed position).
5. Lift the door up and out until the hinge arms clear the
slots. NOTE: The oven door is very heavy. Be sure
you have a firm grip before lifting the oven door off
the hinges. Use caution once the door is removed.
Do not lay the door on its handle. This could cause
dents or scratches.

Replacing the Oven Door
NOTE: The oven door is heavy. You may need help
lifting the door high enough to slide it into the hinge slots.
Do not lift the door by the handle.
1. Lift the oven door by grasping each side.
2. With the door at the same angle as the removal
position (approximately 1"–2" [2.5 cm–5.1 cm] from
the closed position), seat the notch of the hinge arm
into the bottom edge of the hinge slot. The notch of
the hinge arm must be fully seated into the bottom of
the slot.
3. Fully open the door. If the door will not fully open, the
indentation is not seated correctly in the bottom edge
of the slot.
4. Push the hinge locks up against the front frame of the
oven cavity, to the locked position.
