REMOVING THE OVEN DOOR GASKET

WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect from electrical and gas supplies
before servicing unit.
Failure to do so could result in death, electri-
cal shock, or explosion.
CAUTION: When you work on the range, be
careful when handling the sheet metal parts.
Sharp edges may be present, and you can cut
yourself if you are not careful.
1.
Turn off the gas supply and electrical
power to the range.
2.
Pull the range out from the cabinet far
enough to access the back panel.
3.
Loosen (do not remove) the two gasket
retaining screws (see Figure 4-9) so they
extend approximately 1 " from the rear
panel.

Refer to Figure 4-10 for the following steps.
4.
Remove the oven liner retainer screw from
the front floor of the oven.
5.
Pull the oven liner forward as far as pos-
sible so that the gap in the track for the
door gasket is open.
6.
Pull the old door gasket out of the track
and remove the ends from the two holes in
the front.
NOTE: The door gasket is divided into two
segments along its length. The smaller seg-
ment has a piece of rope inside it, and the
larger segment is hollow. Install the smaller
segment with the rope into the track in the next
step.
Use a screwdriver blade and insert 5 " at
7.
one end of the new gasket into either hole
in the front of the oven. Work the smaller
segment of the gasket into the track around
the three sides of the door. When you are
finished, insert the remaining gasket into
the front hole. Make sure that the gasket is
evenly installed all the way around the
door, otherwise a poor seal could result.
8.
Tighten the two hex-head screws at the
rear of the range to secure the gasket.
9.
Install the screw in the floor of the oven
liner.
