Do-It-Yourself Maintenance
The lower oven door can be lifted off for your convenience in
cleaning hard-to-reach areas inside the oven.
To Remove the Oven Door:
1. Fully open the oven door.
2. Flip the hinge clip toward you (see illustration below).
3. Close the door until it stops (the open hinge clip will hold the
door about halfway open.
4. Grasp the door on the sides. The door is heavy and fragile -
always use both hands. Lift the door up and out (there will be
some spring resistance to overcome). When the front of the
door is high enough, you will be able to pull the door straight
out.
5. Place the door in a safe and stable location.
To Replace the Oven Door:
1. Hold door on both sides. Insert hinges into hinge slots. The
door will be about halfway open.
2. Open door all the way to expose hinge clips. Push hinge clips
away from you (toward the oven) until they meet the hinge.
3. Close and open the door slowly to test the installation. It should
open and close smoothly and be straight, not crooked.

CAUTION
USE CAUTION WHEN REMOVING THE
DOOR. THE DOOR IS VERY HEAVY.
• Make sure oven is cool and power to oven has been turned
off before removing the door. Failure to do so could result
in electrical shock or burns.
• The oven door is heavy and fragile. Use both hands to
remove or replace the door.
• Grasp only the sides of the oven door when removing or
replacing it.
• Failure to grasp the oven door firmly and properly could
result in personal injury and product damage.
• With the door off, never release the levers and try to close
the hinges. Without the weight of the door, the powerful
springs will snap the hinges closed with great force.
