Care & Cleaning
Removing and Replacing the Oven Door
ià CAUTION j The oven door is heavy. Be careful when
removing and lifting the door. Do not lift the oven door by
the handle.
Most oven doors contain glass that can
break. Read the following recommendations:
• Do not close the oven door until all the interior oven racks
are fully inserted and retracted to the back of the oven.
• Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object.
The oven door glass may break or even break at a later
time unexpectedly.
• Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the oven door glass
may weaken its structure causing an increased risk of
breakage at a later time.
• You may use a glass cleaner on the outside of the oven
door glass. Do not spray or allow water or the cleaner to
enter or drip down into the oven door vents. Spray cleaner
on cloth first and then wipe the oven door clean.
• Do not use strong oven cleaners, powders or any harsh
abrasive cleaning materials on the outside of the oven
door or glass.
• Never clean the oven door gasket. The oven door gasket
should always clean during the Self-clean cycle.
To Remove Oven Door:
1. Open oven door completely (horizontal with floor - See
Figure 1j.
2. Pull the door hinge locks on both left and right door
hinges down from the oven frame completely towards
the oven door (See Figure 2). A tool such as a small fiat­
blade screwdriver may be required.
3. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides
(Do not use the oven door handle - See Figure 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 (See Figure 4).
To Replace Oven Door:
1. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides
(Do not use the oven door handle - See Figure 3).
2. Holding the oven door at the same angle as the removal
position, seat the hook of the hinge arm onto the roller
pins located on each side of the oven door frame (See
Fig. 4). Also, seat the notch of the hinge arm onto the
bottom of the slot at the same time you seat the hook.
The hook and notch of the hinge arms must be fully
seated onto the roller pins and bottom of the slot.
3. Fully open the oven door (horizontal with floor - See
Figure 1).
4. Push the door hinge locks up towards and into the oven
frame on both left and right oven door hinges (See
Figure 2) to the locked position.
