DOOR HINGE ADJUSTMENT
Over time and with frequent usage, the Door Hinges may begin to wear and allow the door to sag a small amount. This is generally evident by some latch
misalignment and the lower right corner of the Door contacting the floor when being operated. They may be easily adjusted to restore proper fit.
The help of an assistant is strongly recommended for this procedure.
- Oven must be off and fully cooled before beginning.
- With the Door closed and the latch open, measure the space between the lower left corner of the Door and the floor and note the dimension.
- Taking the noted dimension from the left side, add an additional 1/2 the amount for wedging height. For example: if the left door corner to floor is 1/2",
create a wedge of 3/4".
Very slightly loosen the screws attaching the upper Hinge to the side of the cabinet.
Do Not loosen all Hinge screws at once. Start at the upper Hinge, make adjustments and move to the lower Hinge as required.
Use only non-flammable metal shim stock material.
- At the same time, have the assistant lift up on the right side of the door and insert the stacked material under the lower right front corner of the Door for
support.
- Insert shim metal stock material between the upper Hinge and the cabinet and tighten screws.
#6 sheetmetal screws are used. If screw holes in the Cabinet have become enlarged and will not tighten, #8 sheetmetal screws may
be substituted.
- Remove the wedging material from under right front corner of the door, check for operation of Door and repeat above procedure, adding shim material if
necessary.
