Removing the Oven Door
9 WARNING
When removing the door:
•
Make sure oven is cool and power to the 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 parts of it are
fragile. Use both hands to remove the oven
door. The door front is glass. Handle carefully to
avoid breakage.
•
Grasp only the sides of the oven door. Do not
grasp the handle as it may swing in your hand
and cause damage or injury.
•
Failure to grasp the oven door firmly and
properly could result in personal injury or
product damage.
•
To avoid injury from hinge bracket snapping
closed, be sure that both levers are securely in
place before removing the door. Also, do not
force door open or closed—the hinge could be
damaged and injury could result.
•
Do not lay removed door on sharp or pointed
objects as this could break the glass. Lay on a
flat, smooth surface, positioned so that the door
cannot fall over.

the above WARNING
before attempting to
remove the oven door.
1. Open the oven door to
its fully open,

toward you.
Note: It may be necessary
to use a tool, such as a
screwdriver, to gently pry
the upper part of the lever
away from the housing.
Take care to avoid
scratching the housing.
3. Bring both door hinge
levers to their fullest

straight up
approximately 3/4" to

housing.

convenient and stable
location for cleaning.
