Lower Oven General Care & Cleaning
REMOVING AND REPLACING THE LOWER OVEN
DOOR
The oven door is heavy. Be careful when removing and
lifting the door. Do not lift the oven door by the handle.
To Remove Oven Door:
1. Open oven door completely (horizontal with floor - See
Figure 1).
2. Pull the door hinge locks on both left and right door
hinges down from the oven frame completely towards
the oven door (See Figure 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 - See Figure 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 (See Figure 4).
To Replace Oven Door:
1. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides
(Do not use the oven door handle - See Figure 3).
2. Holding the oven door at the same angle as the removal
position, seat the hook of the hinge arm onto the roller
pins located on each side of the oven door frame (See
Fig. 4). Also, seat the notch of the hinge arm onto the
bottom of the slot at the same time you seat the hook.
The hook and notch of the hinge arms must be fully
seated onto the roller pins and bottom of the slot.
3. Fully open the oven door (horizontal with floor - See
Figure 1).
4. Push the door hinge locks up towards and into the oven
frame on both left and right oven door hinges (See
Figure 2) to the locked position.
5. Close the oven door.
