has been turned off before removing the door.

burns.

door front includes glass components. Handle

grasp the handle as it may swing in your hand
and cause damage or injury.

could result in personal injury or product damage.
▯ To avoid injury from hinge bracket snapping
closed, be sure that both locking levers are
securely in place before removing the door. Also,

objects as this could break the glass. Lay the
