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.

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.
