Bottom Hinge Doors Only - Remove
Prior to Install
Important: Do not attempt to remove the side hinge
door (side hinge doors are found only on select models).
Ovens with bottom hinge doors permit the oven door(s) to
be removed prior to lifting the unit into place. Each door
weighs approximately 40 pounds (18.1 kg). Removing and
replacing the door are routinely simple procedures.
Removing the door lightens the unit significantly and
provides easier access to the recommended handhold
inside the oven cavity. See instructions below.
Placing the Oven Into the Cabinet
Opening - All Ovens
Note: It is recommended to wear gloves and long sleeves
to protect hands and forearms from abrasion and
potential scratches during the lifting process. It is
also recommended to take off watches and jewelry
and to wear work shoes during installation for foot
protection.
When lifting the unit into place avoid grasping the upper
element to avoid damaging it. See the illustration following
for the correct lifting point for a bottom hinge double oven
with the lower door removed. This illustration shows a
detailed view of the oven cavity. Note the location of the
ridge inside the top of the cavity. This is the area to grip
from the front when lifting the oven.
For your particular oven type, see the preceeding section
“Lifting Recommendations Vary Dependent Upon Oven
Door Type” for lift points.
1. Be sure to read all
warnings and cautions
in the installation
manual regarding the
door removal before
attempting to remove
the door.
2. Open the door
completely.
3. Flip levers on hinges
toward you.
4. Holding the door firmly
on both sides and
using both hands,
close the door gently
until it stops against
the levers, about 30º
from the closed
position.
5. Carefully lift the door
up and out of the
hinge slots. Hold
firmly; the door is
heavy.
6. Place the door in a
convenient and stable
location unitl you are
ready to reinstall it.
Lay the door on a
towel or section of
protective foam
padding to avoid
damage to the door or
the floor.
9 CAUTION

the unit during installation by using the oven door
handle as a gripping point.
