Step 8: Door Removal and Installation
CAUTION
USE CAUTION WHEN REMOVING THE
DOOR. THE DOOR IS VERY HEAVY.
Make sure oven is cool and power to oven has
been turned off. Failure to do so could result in
electrical shock or burns.
The oven door is heavy and fragile. Use both
hands to remove or replace the door.
Grasp only the ends of the oven door handle.
Failure to grasp the oven door firmly and properly
could result in personal injury and product
damage.
With the door off, never release the levers and
try to close the hinges. Without the weight of the
door, the powerful springs will snap the hinges
closed with great force.
To Remove the Oven Door:
, Open the door fully and use a screwdriver to pry the
hinge clips away from the hinge slots. (See Photo
B.)
, Flip the hinge clip toward you. (See Photo C.)
, Close the door until it stops against the hinge clips.
The open hinge clips will hold the door open at a
slight angle.
o Grasp the door firmly on the ends of the door
handle, and lift the door up. (There will be some
spring resistance to overcome.) When the door is
lifted sufficient to clear the hinge hooks, the door
can be pulled straight out. (See Photo D.)
o Place the door in a safe and stable location.
To ReinstalJ the Oven Door:
, Position the door at a slight angle and insert the
hinges into the hinge slots - one on each side of the
range. The hinges will securely hook into the slots
when properly installed. Do not force, bend, or twist
the door.
Tip: Rest the door on your foot while using your leg for
stability.
o Open the door fully and use a screwdriver to push
the hinge clips all the way into the hinge slots. Be
careful not to scratch the range during this process.
To Check Door Fit and Operation:
o Open and close the door slowly to test the move-
ment and the fit of the door to the oven cavity. Do not
force the door to open or close. If the door is
properly installed, it should move smoothly and rest
straight on the front of the range when closed.
, If the door does not operate correctly, verify that the
hinges are properly seated into the hinge slots, and
that the hinge clips are fully engaged into the slots.
