Replacing the Oven Door Gasket - -

A. Remove all pieces of the old Gasket.
Thoroughly clean the Door frame in the area
of the new gasket installation. Remove any
old sealant and any baked-on deposits.
B. Replacement Gasket for the Oven Door is
supplied to you as a single length of high-
temperature material. This Gasket must be
cut to lengths that slightly overlap the sides
of the Door frame.
C. Put a small amount of soap water into and
around the slot that the new Gasket will fit
into (a small trigger spray bottle works
well). This step is optional but will help in
the installation.
D. Position the new Gasket over the slot, allowing the ends to extend past the end of the slot. Press
the mounting flange down into the slot on the Door frame. Use a roller tool to force the mounting
flange into the slot by working the tool back and forth along the Gasket. Make sure the Gasket
mounting flange is completely fitted into the slot and that the Gasket is free to slide back and forth
in the slot.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT STRETCH OR PULL ON THE GASKET DURING THE
INSTALLATION PROCESS. THIS WILL LATER CAUSE THE TRIMMED CORNERS TO
E. Use a sharp knife or a single-edged razor blade to cut the ends of the Gasket at a 45 ° angle (you
can use the mitered corner joint on the Door as an angle guide). Cut the Gasket about 1/4" longer
than the required length and work the excess back into the slot. This extra Gasket will help to
create a nice tight corner joint, and allows for any follow-up trimming that may be necessary.
F. Work your way around the entire Door (or the section of the Door having the Gasket replaced).
Make sure the Gasket is just tight into the corners. A bulging joint or pucker along the Gasket
indicates a Gasket section that is cut too long. Joints that pull apart indicate that one or more gasket
sections are cut too short.
IMPORTANT: MAKE SURE THAT THE GASKET AND DOOR FRAME ARE BOTH
COMPLETELY CLEAN AND DRY BEFORE APPLYING ANY SEALANT!
G. Seal the corner joints after the entire Gasket is properly fitted. Pull the joints apart only enough to
put sealant on all of the cut edges only. Allow the Gasket joint to come together. Smooth out any
excess sealant to form a smooth surface on the face of the Gasket. Add more sealant to any spots
as necessary and smooth them down.
H. A quality sealant will be dry to the touch and tack-free in one to two hours after application.
However, it will not be completely cured until six to eight hours later. We recommend that you
wait until after your sealant is completely cured before using your Oven.
WARNING: SOME SEALANTS GIVE OFF ACIDIC FUMES AS THEY CURE. THESE
FUMES MAY CAUSE IRRITATION TO THE EYES AND/OR NASAL PASSAGES. USE
CAUTION WHEN OPENING YOUR UNIT AFTER WAITING FOR ANY FRESH SEALANT
