Care and Cleaning

Removing and Replacing the Oven Door

The door is very 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 
(

Figure 33

).

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 (

Figure 34

 an

Figure 35

).

3.

Grasp the door by the sides, pull the bottom of the door up 
and toward you to disengage the hinge supports.

The door is very heavy. Use caution when lifting the door. 
Improper lifting can cause injury.

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 (

Figure 36

).

To Replace Oven Door:

1.

Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides. 
Do not use the oven door handle (

Figure 36

).

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 (

Figure 34

 and 

Figure 35

). The hook of the hinge arms must be fully seated 

onto the roller pins.

3.

Fully open the oven door, horizontal with floor (

Figure 33

).

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 34

).

5.

Close the oven door.

IMPORTANT!  

Special Door Care Instructions - Most oven doors contain glass 
that can break. Read the following recommendations:

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.
