CAUTION
Oven Door
• Do not place excessive weight on or stand on an open
oven door. This could cause the range to tip over, break
the door, or injure the user.
• Do not attempt to open or close door or operate oven until
door is properly replaced.
• Never place fingers between hinge and front oven frame.
Hinge arms are spring mounted. If accidentally hit, the
hinge will slam shut against oven frame and could injure
your fingers.
To remove:
1. When cool, open the oven door to the
first stop position (about four inches).
2. Grasp door at each side. Do not use
the door handle to lift door.
3. Lift up evenly until door clears hinge arms.
To replace:
1. Grasp door at each side.
2. Align slots in the door with the hinge arms on the range.
3. Slide the door down onto the hinge arms until the door is
completely seated on the hinges. Push down on the top
corners of the door to completely seat door on hinges.
Door should not appear crooked.
Important: The oven door on a new range may feel “spongy”
when it is closed. This is normal and will decrease with use.
