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.l).
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).
