Removing and Replacing the Lift-Off Oven Door
CAUTION
The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage, lay the door flat
with the inside of the door facing down.
To Remove Oven Door:
1. Open oven door completely (horizontal with floor - See Fig. 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 Fig. 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 Fig. 3).
4. Close the door to about a 10 degree angle as shown in Fig. 3.
5. With the oven door in this position, lift the oven door hinge arms away from
the roller pins located on each side of the oven frame (See Fig. 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 Fig. 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). The hook of the hinge arms must be fully seated onto the
roller pins.
3. Fully open the oven door (horizontal with floor - See Fig. 1).
4. Push the door hinge locks up towards and into the oven frame on both left and
right oven door hinges (See Fig. 2) to the locked position.
5. Close the oven door.
Special Door Care Instructions
Read the following recommendations:
1. Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully in place.
2. Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object.
3. Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its structure
causing an increased risk of breakage at a later time.
