2. Pull the door hinge locks on both left and right door hinges
down from the oven frame completely towards the oven door
(Fig. 2). A tool such as a small flat-blade screwdriver may be
required.
3. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides (Do
not use the oven door handle - Fig. 3).
4. Close the door to the broil stop position (the oven door will stop
into this position just before fully closing).
5. With the oven door in the broil stop position, lift the oven door
hinge arms over the roller pins located on each side of the oven
frame (Fig. 4).
To replace oven door:

not use the oven door handle - Fig. 3).
2. Holding the oven door at the same angle as the removal

located on each side of the oven door frame (Fig. 4). The hook
of the hinge arms must be fully seated onto the roller pins.

Special door care instructions
Most oven doors contain glass that can break. Read the following
recommendations:
• Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully in
place inside the oven cavity.
• Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object.
• Scratching, hitting. Jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its
structure causing an increased risk of breakage at a later time.
