Maintenance

Oven Door
CAUTIONS:
•
Do not place excessive weight on
or stand on an open oven door.
This could cause the range to tip
over, break the door, or injure the
user.
•
Do not attempt to open or close
door or operate oven until door is
properly replaced.
•
Never place fingers between hinge
and front oven frame. Hinge arms
are spring mounted. If accidentally
hit, the hinge will slam shut against
oven frame and could injure your
fingers.
To remove:
1. When cool, open the oven door to the
broil stop position (opened about four
inches).
2. Grasp door at each
side. Do not use the
door handle to lift.
3. Lift up evenly until
door clears hinge arms.
To replace:
1. Grasp door at each side.
2. Align slots in the door with the hinge
arms on the range.
3. Slide the door down onto the hinge arms
until the door is completely seated on the
hinges. Push down on the top corners of
the door to completely seat door on hinges.
Door should not appear crooked.
NOTE: The oven door on a new range
may feel "spongy" when it is closed. This
is normal and will decrease with use.
Leveling Legs
CAUTION:
•
Be sure the anti-tip bracket se-
cures one of the rear leveling legs
to the floor to prevent the range
from accidentally tipping.
The range should be leveled
when installed. If the range
is not level, turn the plastic
leveling legs, located at
each corner of the
range, until
range is level.

1. Do not use abrasive cleaning agents
such as steel wool scouring pads or
powdered cleansers as they may scratch
the glass.

furniture, toys, or other objects.
3. Do not close the oven door until the
