Removing and Replacing the Oven Door

The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage,
lay the door flat with the inside of the door facing down.
To prevent possible burns, do not attempt to
remove the oven door until the oven has completely cooled.
To remove the oven door:
1. Open oven door completely, horizontal with floor.
2. Pull up the lock located on each hinge support toward front
of the oven. You may have to apply a little upward pressure
on the lock to pull it up
3. Grasp the door by the sides, pull the bottom of the door up
and toward you to disengage the hinge supports.
4. Keep pulling the bottom of the door toward you while
rotating the top of the door toward the appliance to
completely disengage the hinge levers
To Replace Oven Door:
1. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides.
Do not use the oven door handle
2. Holding the oven door at the same angle as the removal
position, seat the hook of the hinge arm over the roller pins
located on each side of the oven door frame
The hook of the hinge arms must be fully seated onto the
roller pins.
3. Fully open the oven door, horizontal with floor
4. Push the door hinge locks up toward and into the oven
frame on both left and right oven door hinges to the locked
position (Figure 31).
5. Close the oven door.
Important:
Special Door Care Instructions - Most oven doors contain glass
that can break. Do not close the oven door until all the oven
racks are fully in place. Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or
any other object. Scratching, hitting, jarring, or stressing the
glass may weaken its structure causing an increased risk of
breakage at a later time.
Important note:
These instructions are for soft close hinge models.
