with the inside of the door facing down.
To Remove Oven Door:
1. Open oven door completely (horizontal with floor - See Fig. 1).
2. Pull the door hinge locks on both left and right door hinges down from the
oven frame completely towards the oven door (See Fig. 2). A tool such as a
small flat-blade screwdriver may be required.
3. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides (Do not use the
oven door handle - See Fig. 3).
4. Close the door to the broil stop position (the oven door will stop into this
position just before fully closing).

over the roller pins located on each side of the oven frame (See Fig. 4).
To Replace Oven Door:
1. Firmly grasp both sides of oven door along the door sides (Do not use the
oven door handle - See Fig. 3).
2. Holding the oven door at the same angle as the removal position, seat the
hook of the hinge arm over the roller pins located on each side of the oven
door frame (See Fig. 4). The hook of the hinge arms must be fully seated
onto the roller pins.

and right oven door hinges (See Fig. 2) to the locked position.

break.
Read the following recommendations:
1. Do not close the oven door until all the oven racks are fully in place.
2. Do not hit the glass with pots, pans, or any other object.
3. Scratching, hitting, jarring or stressing the glass may weaken its structure
causing an increased risk of breakage at a later time.
