Step 8: Door Removal and
Reinstallation
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 electri-
cal 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.
To Remove the Oven Door:
1. Fully open the oven door.
2. Flip the hinge clip toward you (see illustration at right).
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 Reinstall the Oven Door:
1. Hold door on both sides. Insert hinges into hinge slots.
The door will be about halfway open. It may be
necessary to press firmly inward on the lower portion of
the door, using a rocking motion to fully seat the door's
hinges.
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.
