⚠
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 gain access to the bake burner orifices, you will need to
remove the oven door, kick panel, and the bottom front
panel, if applicable.
Removing the oven door
1. Open the door fully. Flip the hinge clips down for both
sides of the door. A screwdriver may be required to
carefully pry the clip back.
2. 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.

3. Grasp the door firmly on the ends of the door. Lift the
door up and out. There will be some spring resistance
to overcome.
4. Place the door in a safe and stable location.
Reinstalling the oven door before leak testing the broil
and bake burners
After replacing the bake burner orifices and the appliance
satisfactorily gas leak tested, the oven door, kick panel,
and the bottom front panel must be reinstalled.
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.
