4. Once both hinges are fully engaged as described in Step 3, gently open the door until it is fully open.	39
5. Push the levers on both the hinges up and forward until they are locked into the slot, flush with the front of the oven body.	39
6. Close and open door slowly to be sure it is correctly and securely in place.	39
Warming Drawer Maintenance	39
Removing the Drawer	39
1. Pull drawer to fully open position.	39
2. Press down right drawer clip.	39
3. Lift up left drawer clip.	39
