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 the oven door:
1. Open oven door completely horizontal with floor.
2. Remove 2 screws located on the inside of the oven door
liner (Figure 17).
3. Insert the 2 screws into the door hinge holes located on the
side of the hinge arm, one into each hinge (Figure 17).
4.

Close oven door until the door stops, (do not force the door
to close any further). The placement of these screws should
keep door open in about a 45 degree position.
Grasp oven door firmly on both sides and slide door up and
off hinges at the same angle (Figure 18).
6. To clean oven door, follow the instructions provided listed in
the cleaning chart under "oven door".
To replace oven door:
1. Be sure the hinge arms remain at the 45 degree angle
position. Be sure the screws are still locking the hinge arms
from moving. If the screws fall out of the hinge holes, the
hinge(s) may snap back against the oven frame and could
pinch fingers or chip the porcelain finish on the oven front
frame.
2. Hold door at the sides near the top while resting the lower
front of door on your knee. Insert the door channels at the
bottom of door over the door hinges, (Figure 18.
3. Allow the door to slide down into the door hinges evenly at
the same 45 degree angle. The hinge arms should be
inserted into the bottom corners as far as they can go.
4. Open door completely (horizontal with floor) and remove
both screws from holes in door hinges.
5. Reinstall the 2 screws into the door liner (Figure 17).
6. If the door is not in alignment with the oven frame, remove
door and repeat the above steps.

Special 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.
