Ovens with Side Hinge Doors Only
Side Hinge Door Aligment
Note: Only align the side hinge oven doors after the unit is
fully installed into the cabinet.
Side Hinge Door Alignment Procedure
1. Check to see if the
side hinge oven doors
are properly aligned.
The door should pull
itself closed smoothly
when the striker
engages the roller as
the door is closed.
2. Too high (Fig. A - door
needs to move down
on latch side) you will
feel interference
between the striker
and the catch receiver.
3. Too low (Fig. B - door
needs to move up on
latch side) you will feel
a bump when the
striker comes into
contact with the re-
alignment roller.
Hint: The gap between
the top of the closed
oven door and the
control panel (or upper
door for lower cavities
in double ovens)
should be fairly
uniform from side to
side.

1. Open the door to
approximately 135°.
2. Using a Torx T-20 star-
head screwdriver,
loosen the 3 screws
(A) on the lower hinge
by 1 to 2 full turns.
Note: All adjustment is
made with the lower
hinge only. The upper
hinge is fixed in place
and cannot be
adjusted.
3. Using a #2 philips
head screwdriver, turn
the cam (B) right or left
to adjust the hinge
position in the desired
direction.
Note: 1mm of hinge
movement (left or
right) will move the
door up or down
approximately 1.5mm
at the door catch.
4. Re-tighten the screws
before closing the
door to test. Be careful
not to overtighten.
5. Check for proper door
alignment. Repeat
adjustment procedure
as necessary.
