parts. It cannot be removed if it is baked on.

the door frame, to the unlocked position .
A tool, such as a small
flat-blade screwdriver, may be required .
Firmly grasp both sides of the door at the
top .
Close door to the door removal position,
which is halfway between the broil stop
position and fully closed .
Lift door up and out until the hinge arm is
clear of the slot .
To replace the door:
Firmly grasp both sides of the door at the
top .
With the door at
the same angle
as the removal
position, seat the
indentation of the
hinge arm into
the bottom edge
of the hinge slot .
The notch in the
hinge arm must be fully seated into the
bottom of the slot .

Control Panel
It’s a good idea to wipe the control panel after
each use . Clean with mild soap and water or
vinegar and water, rinse with clean water and
polish dry with a soft cloth .
Do not use abrasive cleansers, strong liquid
cleansers, plastic scouring pads or oven
cleaners on the control panel—they will
damage the finish . A 50/50 solution of vinegar
and hot water works well .
