The door is very heavy. Be careful when
removing and lifting the door.
Do not lift the door by the handle.
To remove the door:
Fully open the door.
Pull the hinge locks down toward 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.
Fully open the door. If the door will not
fully open, the indentation is not seated
correctly in the bottom edge of the slot.
Push the hinge locks up against the front
frame of the oven cavity to the locked
position.
Close the oven door.
The gasket is designed with a gap at the
bottom to allow for proper air circulation.
Do not rub or clean the door gasket—it has
an extremely low resistance to abrasion.
If you notice the gasket becoming worn,
frayed or damaged in any way or if it has
become displaced on the door, you should
have it replaced.
To clean the inside of the door:
■ Because the area inside the gasket is
cleaned during the self-clean cycle,
you do not need to clean this by hand.
■ The area outside the gasket and the door
liner can be cleaned with a soap-filled
or plastic scouring pad, hot water and
detergent. Rinse well with a vinegar
and water solution.
To clean the outside of the door:
■ Use soap and water to thoroughly clean the
top, sides and front of the oven door. Rinse
well. You may also use a glass cleaner to
clean the glass on the outside of the door.
Do not let water drip into the vent openings.
■ If any stain on the door vent trim is
persistent, use a soft abrasive cleaner
and a sponge-scrubber for best results.
■ Spillage of marinades, fruit juices, tomato
sauces and basting materials containing
acids may cause discoloration and should
be wiped up immediately. When surface is
cool, clean and rinse.
■ Do not use oven cleaners, cleaning powders
or harsh abrasives on the outside of the door.
