Oven Door Removal, Installation, and Alignment

Failure to comply with these warnings can result in injury and/or
damage:
■ Before removing the oven door, make sure the gas supply and
electrical power to the range are turned off, and that the door and
oven are not hot.
■ Be careful when removing the oven door as it is very heavy. Use
both hands to remove or replace the oven door, and firmly grasp
both sides of the door when handling it.
■ When the door is removed from the range, never release locking
levers or try to close the hinges. Without the weight of the door,
the powerful springs will snap the hinges shut with great force.
6.11.5.1

Removing the Door

1. Follow all safety precautions and steps in Preparing the Range for
Servicing, page 25.
2. Open the door fully and use a flat blade screwdriver to pry each
hinge clip ("locking lever") downward (towards you) as far as they
go. See Figure 197, page 111.
3. While firmly grasping the door with both hands, slowly close the
door until it stops against the locking levers. The open locking
levers will hold the door open at an angle of approximately 15–25
degrees.
4. Grasp the door firmly on the ends of the door handle, and lift the
door up (the door is heavy and fragile, and there will be some
spring resistance to overcome).
