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 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 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). 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 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 - Most oven doors contain glass that can break.
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.
