Bottom Hinge Doors Only - Remove Prior to Install Important: Do not attempt to remove the side hinge door (side hinge doors are found only on select models). Ovens with bottom hinge doors permit the oven door(s) to be removed prior to lifting the unit into place. Each door weighs approximately 40 pounds (18.1 kg). Removing and replacing the door are routinely simple procedures. Removing the door lightens the unit significantly and provides easier access to the recommended handhold inside the oven cavity. See instructions below. 1. Be sure to read all warnings and cautions in the installation manual regarding the door removal before attempting to remove the door. 2. Open the door completely. 3. Flip levers on hinges toward you. 4. Holding the door firmly on both sides and using both hands, close the door gently until it stops against the levers, about 30º from the closed position. Placing the Oven Into the Cabinet Opening - All Ovens 9 CAUTION To avoid damage to the door do not lift, pull or push the unit during installation by using the oven door handle as a gripping point. Note: It is recommended to wear gloves and long sleeves to protect hands and forearms from abrasion and potential scratches during the lifting process. It is also recommended to take off watches and jewelry and to wear work shoes during installation for foot protection. When lifting the unit into place avoid grasping the upper element to avoid damaging it. See the illustration following for the correct lifting point for a bottom hinge double oven with the lower door removed. This illustration shows a detailed view of the oven cavity. Note the location of the ridge inside the top of the cavity. This is the area to grip from the front when lifting the oven. For your particular oven type, see the preceeding section "Lifting Recommendations Vary Dependent Upon Oven Door Type" for lift points. 5. Carefully lift the door up and out of the hinge slots. Hold firmly; the door is heavy. 6. Place the door in a convenient and stable location unitl you are ready to reinstall it. Lay the door on a towel or section of protective foam padding to avoid damage to the door or the floor. English 3
