Do-It-Yourself Maintenance
The oven door can be lifted off for your convenience in cleaning hard to reach areas inside the oven.
• Use caution when removing the door as it is very heavy.
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
locking clips.
3. Raise the oven door and make sure that it fits
evenly with the front sides.

WARNING:
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.
