Removing the Oven Door
The 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. Raise the U-clip over the hook on each of the hinges
to the "locked" position (see illustration below). This
will prevent the hinge from snapping closed when
the door is removed.
3. Grasp the door by the sides toward the back. Raise
the front of the door several inches (there will be
some spring resistance to overcome because of the
hinge being locked). When the front of the door is
high enough, you will be able to lift the hinges to
clear the indents.
4. Pull the hinges out of the slots in the oven front frame.
To Replace the Oven Door
1. Grasp the sides of the door at the center and insert
the ends of the hinges into the slots in the oven front
frame as far as they will go (see illustration below).
2. With the door open all the way, lower the two lock-
ing clips.
3. Raise the oven door and make sure that it fits evenly
with the front sides.
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.
