Care & Cleaning
Removing and replacing the lift-off oven door
To avoid possible injury when removing or
replacing the oven door, follow the instructions below carefully
and always hold the oven door with both hands positioned
away from the door hinge area.
The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage,
lay the door flat with the inside of the door facing down.
To remove oven door:
1. Open oven door completely (horizontal with floor - Fig. 1).
2. Pull the door hinge locks on both left and right door hinges
down from the oven frame completely towards the oven door
(Fig. 2). A tool such as a small flat-blade screwdriver may be
required.
3. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides
(Do not use the oven door handle - Fig. 3).
4. Close the door to the broil stop position (the oven door will
stop into this position just before fully closing).
5. With the oven door in the broil stop position, lift the oven
door hinge arms over the roller pins located on each side of
the oven frame (Fig. 4).
To replace oven door:
1. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides
(Do not use the oven door handle - Fig. 3).
2. Holding the oven door at the same angle as the removal
position, seat the hook of the hinge arm over the roller pins
located on each side of the oven door frame (Fig. 4). The
hook of the hinge arms must be fully seated onto the roller
pins.
3. Fully open the oven door (horizontal with floor - Fig. 1).
4. Push the door hinge locks up towards and into the oven
frame on both left and right oven door hinges (Fig. 2) to the
locked position; then close the oven door.
Special door care instructions
Most oven doors contain glass that can break. Read the
following recommendations:
• Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully in
place inside the oven cavity.
• Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object.
• Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken
its structure causing an increased risk of breakage at a later
time.
