Removing and replacing the lift-off oven door
To avoid possible injury when removing or
replacing the oven door, follow the instructions below carefully
and always hold the oven door with both hands positioned
away from the door hinge area.
The door is heavy. For safe, temporary storage,
lay the door flat with the inside of the door facing down.
To remove the oven door:
1.
Open oven door completely (horizontal with floor -
Figure 16
).
2. Pull the door hinge locks on both left and right door hinges
down from the oven frame completely towards the oven
door (
Figure 17
). A tool such as a small flat-blade screw-
driver may be required.
3. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides
(Do not use the oven door handle -
Figure 18
).
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 (
Figure 19
).
To replace oven door:
1.
Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides
(Do not use the oven door handle -
Figure 18
).
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 19
).
The hook of the hinge arms must be fully seated onto the
roller pins.
3. Fully open the oven door (horizontal with floor -
Figure 16
).
4. Push the door hinge locks up towards and into the oven
frame on both left and right oven door hinges (
Figure 17
) to
the locked position; then, close the oven door.
Special care instructions
Most oven doors contain glass that can break. Follow these
recommendations:
•
Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully
in place inside the oven cavity.
•
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.
