Step 8: Door Removal and
Adjustment
CAUTION
•
USE CAUTION WHEN REMOVING THE DOOR.
THE DOOR IS VERY HEAVY.
•
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 fragile. Use both hands
to remove or replace the door.
•
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. Be sure to read the above
CAUTION before attempting
to remove the door.
2. Open the door fully.
3. Flip hinge clip down. A
screwdriver may be required
to carefully pry the clip back.
4. Close the door gently until
it stops against the hinge clips.
The open hinge clips will hold
the door open at a slight angle,
about 30°, from the closed
position.
5. Grasp the door firmly
on the ends of the door.
Lift the door up and out.
There will be some spring
resistance to overcome.
6. Place the door in a
safe and stable location.

To Check Door Fit and Operation
1. Open and close the door slowly to test the movement
and the fit of the door to the oven cavity. Do not force
the door to open or close. If the door is properly
installed, it should move smoothly and rest straight on
the front of the range when closed.
2. The range must be level for proper alignment of the
oven doors, see "Step 9: Placing and Leveling the
Range".
3. If the door does not operate correctly, verify that the
hinges are properly seated into the hinge slots, and
that the hinge clips are fully engaged into the slots.
1. Hold the door firmly in both
hands.
2. Hold the door at a 30°
angle from the closed position.
Insert hinges centered evenly
into the hinge slots. The hinges
will securely hook into the slots
when properly installed. DO NOT
force, bend or twist the door.
3. Open door fully to expose
hinges, levers, and slots.
4. Flip the hinge forward and
down until seated on the bracket.
A screwdriver may be required
to carefully push the clip back.
5. Close and open the door
slowly to ensure it is correctly
and securely in place.
