Replacing Fixed Glass Assembly
The bottom glass latches have been designed to create
a small gap between the glass clip and the face of the
appliance. See Figure 11.2.
1. Install the bottom of the glass assembly so that the
two tabs on the bottom of the glass latch engage the
gap. By tilting the top of the glass towards the face of
the appliance, tension will be applied to the bottom
two glass latches. Use one hand to support the glass
at all times.
2. Fasten the two upper glass latches, one at a time, by
pulling out and downward into position on the glass
assembly. Use one hand to support the glass at all
times.
3. Verify that the top two glass latches are engaged by vi

sually verifying that glass latches have engaged both
left and right tabs on the glass frame.
4. Verify the bottom two glass latches have engaged the
glass frame tabs by grasping the bottom of the glass
frame assembly and pulling the glass frame assembly
“away” from the face of the appliance and “release”
the glass frame. The spring action of the clips will
“pull” the glass frame assembly towards the face of
the appliance if bottom clips are properly engaged. If
the glass frame assembly does not pull back towards
the face of the appliance, repeat steps 1-4.
