Make sure oven is cool and power to the oven

Use both hands to remove the oven door. The
door front is glass. Handle carefully to avoid
breakage.
Grasp only the side 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 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.
