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 electrical
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 Photo C: on page 25.)
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 over-
come). 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.
