Care and Cleaning
To remove the oven door
• To prevent possible burns, do not attempt
to remove the oven door until the oven has
completely cooled.
•
To avoid possible injury to hands when
removing or replacing the oven door, follow
the instructions below carefully and always
hold the oven door with hands positioned
away from the door hinge area (See Fig. 3).
IMPORTANT
The oven door is heavy. Be careful when
removing and lifting the door. Do not lift the
oven door by the handle.
1. Fully open the oven door.
2. Unlock both oven door hinge locks by pulling
them up and away from the oven frame until
they stop (unlocked position) -fig. 2-. If needed
use a small flat-bladed screwdriver to assist with
loosening the door hinge locks.
3. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door -fig. 3-.
4. Before completing this step, be prepared to hold the
whole weight of the door while grasping the sides
of the oven door with both hands. Hold midway
down the oven door sides. Close the oven door to
about 4 inches and continue closing beyond the
door stop position. The oven door should release
from the frame on its own -fig. 3-.
5. Carefully lift door away evenly, slightly up and
out until both hinge arms are clear of the hinge
slots in the oven frame -fig. 3-. After door has
been removed, be sure to lay the door flat with
the inside of the door downward (never rest the
oven door with any weight on the door handle).

To replace the oven door
1. Firmly grasp the oven door along both sides
just below the door handle. When positioning
the door hinge arms with the door hinge slots in
the oven frame, you may wish to use your knee
to stabilize the door before attempting to insert
the door hinge arms in the hinge slots.
2. Position the angle of the door to the door
removal angle and carefully insert the door
hinge arms fully and evenly into the door
hinge slots. Carefully let the weight of the door
transfer from your hands so that the oven now
supports the oven door.
3. Open the oven door down to the fully open
position.
4. With the door in the fully open position, push
both oven door hinge locks toward the oven
frame until they both are locked.
5. Close the oven door.
