Cooling Fan
The cooling fan runs during all cooking modes. The fan can be heard when it is running, and warm air may be felt as it is released from the oven vent. The fan may also run after the oven is off.
Oven Vent
The oven vent is located at the bottom of the unit. Warm air may be released from the vent before, during and after cooking. It is normal to see steam escaping from the vent, and condensation may collect in this area. This area may be warm when the oven is in use. Do not block the vent, since it is important for air circulation.
Oven Bottom
The oven bottom conceals the lower heating element. As a result the element is protected from damage and spills.
Note: Do not place food directly on the oven bottom.
CAUTION: Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installation of these liners may result in a risk of electric shock or fire.
Accessories
Inserting Racks
CAUTION:
- To avoid burns, place oven racks in desired positions before turning oven on. Always use oven mitts when the oven is warm. If a rack must be moved while the oven is hot, do not let oven mitts contact hot heating elements.
- Use caution when removing an oven rack from the lowest rack position to avoid contact with the hot oven door.
- To avoid possible injury or damage to the appliance, ensure racks are installed exactly per installation instructions and not backwards or upside down.
Flat Rack
The rack is designed with a stop so it will stop before coming completely out of the oven and not tilt.
To insert the flat rack into the oven:
Note: Avoid pushing the rack back forcefully, impacting the rear of the oven cavity. This can cause risk of damage to porcelain coating or to glass covers over light fixtures.
- Grasp rack firmly on both sides.
- Insert rack (see picture).
- Tilt rack up (A) to allow the upwardly sloped rear of the rack to slide under the stop molded into the front portion of the rack guide above.
- When the back of the rack is past this stop, lower the front of the rack to a horizontal position (B) and push it the rest of the way in.
The rack should be straight and flat, not crooked.
To remove the flat rack from the oven:
- Grasp rack firmly on both sides and pull rack toward you.
- When the stop is reached, tilt rack up so that the upwardly sloped back of the rack can pass under the stop. Pull the rack the rest of the way out.
Telescopic Rack
To insert the telescopic rack into the oven:
- Slide the rack in evenly until the rear of the rack is about 2 inches from the back of the oven.
- Tilt the front of the rack up about three-quarters of an inch (A) and finish pushing the rack all the way back (B).
Note: Avoid striking the oven light cover glass or the back of the oven when pushing the rack into position.
- The back of the telescopic rack drops into place.
- Pull the rack forward to engage the bottom of the rack onto the rear of the rack position guide.
- Lower the front of the rack to finish seating it on the rack guide. The rack should feel stable when properly seated.
- Slide the movable part of the telescopic rack in and out a few times to make sure it is able to move freely and that the non-moving part of the telescopic rack is securely anchored.
CAUTION: To avoid possible injury or damage to the appliance, ensure the telescopic rack is installed exactly per installation instructions and not backwards or upside down.
To remove the telescopic rack from the oven:
- Lift the front of the telescopic rack assembly about 1/2 inch and push the rack to the rear about 3/4 inch. This allows the rack to disengage from the rack position guide.
- Lift the rear of the telescopic rack assembly so it clears the rack position guide and gently pull the rack from the oven.
Note: Take care to avoid pulling the rack unevenly which will cause it to bind during removal, catching on the oven walls.

Operation
Basic Features
Using buttons and Entering Numeric Values
The oven interface is easy to use but requires some awareness of how entries must be made. Follow the procedures below.
Setting the Clock
The oven includes time functions that require the current time to be set. It is therefore important to set the clock before beginning to use the oven. The oven can not be in a cooking mode when setting the clock (oven must be on but with no cooking mode selected).
In the event of a power outage, “12:00” appears in the display. The correct time will need to reset.
To set the clock:
- The oven must be in Standby mode (oven is powered on, but no cooking mode or timer in operation).
- To access the clock set mode:
See other models: SHE89PW75N SHVM63W53N HSLP751UC SHXM4AY55N SPE53U52UC
Press the Clock/Timer button. The display shows the option to Set Clock or Set Timer. The “00:00” blinks in the display.
Press the soft key (the small horizontal white outlined rectangle) marked “Set Clock” underneath the down pointing arrow icon ().
Hint: Pressing the "Set Clock " area of the display will have no effect. Press the small horizontal white outlined rectangle below the prompt.
- The left and right soft keys allow the user to adjust 1 hour +/- (such as for Daylight Savings Time). Press the center button “Manual Change” to allow the numeric keypad to be used to enter a specific time and to select am or pm.
- The display shows the reassignment of the soft keys.
The left and right buttons show “am” and “pm”. Use the numeric keypad to enter the time in hh:mm, starting with a leading “0” if the hour is less than 10. Note the digits fill from the right, “pushing” the original digits off to the left as new digits are entered. Press the button for “am” or “pm” to complete the time entry and return to the normal operating clock display.
For example, to enter 3:25 pm, press the numeric keypad digits 0,3,2,5 and press the “pm” button. The display returns to the normal clock display.
Hint: If the am/pm setting is already shown correctly, pressing Enter on the numeric button will also save the clock setting and return to the clock display.

Note: If a temperature is entered that is not within the allowed range for the mode an error tone will sound and the acceptable temperature range for the mode will display below the temperature entered.
Using the numeric keypad, enter a temperature within the acceptable temperature range. Press Enter to start the mode using the temperature entered.
Heating Time Limitation
The maximum heating time is limited. If you forget to turn off the oven, it turns off automatically after a set period of time (see table below), unless using Oven Timer or Delay Cook.
The maximum time for Sabbath Mode is 74 hours. For all other cooking modes the maximum allowed time depends on the temperature:
Heating stops until a setting is changed.
Timers
Your new oven is equipped with two types of timers.
Kitchen Timer - is a countdown timer that has no affect on oven heating. The kitchen timer is used for general kitchen timing needs.
Oven Timer - is a countdown timer which upon reaching 00:00 turns the oven off, stopping the current mode. The oven timer is used to set how long a mode will run.
To access either type of timer, first select a cooking mode using one of the mode selection buttons.
To set a kitchen timer:
(without a cooking mode)
This is for general kitchen timing needs that do not need to affect oven operation.
For double ovens, first select the Upper or Lower oven. This does not have any affect on the oven stop time. It assigns a position for the kitchen timer in memory so a second kitchen timer can later be started if desired.

Getting the Most Out of Your Appliance
General Tips
Pan Placement
Baking results are better if pans are placed in the center of the oven. If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1" to 1 ½" of air space around the pan. When baking four cake layers at the same time, stagger pans on two racks so that one pan is not directly above the other.
Rack Position
Rack positions are numbered from 1 to 6, from bottom to top.
Consult the food cooking charts at the back of this manual for recommended rack positions.
The top rack guide is not used with the cooking racks. Use rack positions 1 through 6 only. The top guide is there only to bracket the rack and prevent it from tipping when inserted in position 6. Inserting a rack onto the top guide would not be stable, since there is no guide above it to prevent tipping. DO NOT attempt to use the top guide to support a rack.
Aluminum Foil
Do not use aluminum foil or protective liners to line any part of the appliance, especially the oven bottom. Installing these liners may result in risk of electric shock or fire.
Preheating the Oven
- Place oven racks in desired position before heating the oven.
- Preheat the oven when using the Bake, Convection Bake, Convection Multi Rack, Pizza, Broil, Convection Broil, and Warm modes.
- Preheat is not used for Roast, Convection Roast and Proof modes.
- Allow oven to preheat while preparing recipe ingredients or food items.
- Setting a higher temperature does not shorten preheat time.
- Once oven is preheated, place food in the oven as quickly as possible to minimize the loss of heat and reduction of oven temperature.
- Use Fast Preheat to speed up preheating.
Preheat Reminders
Your oven has one of the fastest preheat times in the market using a concealed bake element. The lower element is hidden under the oven bottom. It is normal that the preheat time is different than your previous oven that had an exposed element on the bottom.
- Cleaning the oven is easier because there is no cleaning around a coil element showing on the bottom of the oven. The hidden lower element is protected from food soils and spills. Wiping up excess spills is easy.
- Preheating is not necessary for meats, poultry, casseroles and frozen foods.
- Preheat time will be longer when the electrical supply to your house is less than 240 volts.
- Increasing the oven temperature will require a longer preheat time. For example, the preheat time for 425° F is longer than the preheat time for 350° F.
When broiling, preheat the oven 3-4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.
For Best Results
- Use the cooking recommendations as a guide.
- Open the door as briefly as possible to avoid temperature reduction.
- Use the interior oven light to view the food through the oven window rather than opening the door frequently.
- Use the Kitchen Timer to keep track of cooking times.
Baking Pans and Dishes
- Glass baking dishes absorb heat. Reduce oven temperature 25° F when baking using glass dishes.
- Preheat the oven before adding glass baking dishes.
- Use pans that provide the desired browning. For tender, light, golden-brown crusts, use light, anodized or shiny metal bakeware.
- Dark, rough or dull pans (nonstick or anodized) will absorb heat and result in a browner, crisper crust. Some manufacturers recommend reducing the temperature 25° F when using this type of pan. Follow manufacturers' recommendations.
- Insulated cookie sheets or bakeware will increase the length of cooking time.
- Do not set any heavy object on the open oven door.
- Do not keep empty pans or pizza stones in the oven during cooking as this could change the cooking performance. Store pans outside the oven.
High Altitude Baking
- When cooking at high altitudes, recipes and cooking times will vary.
- For accurate information, write the Extension Service, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, Colorado 80521. There may be a cost for the guides. Specify which high altitude food preparation guide you prefer: general information, cakes, cookies, breads, etc.
Condensation
- It is normal for a certain amount of moisture to evaporate from the food during any cooking process. The amount depends on the moisture content of the food. The moisture may condense on any surface cooler than the inside of the oven, such as the control panel.
Temperature Range (°F) by Cooking Mode
Cooking Modes
Bake
Bake is cooking with dry, heated air. Both the upper and lower elements cycle to maintain the oven temperature.
The Bake mode can be used to prepare a variety of food items, from pastries to casseroles. Refer to recipe or package directions for oven temperature and baking time.
Tips
- Preheat the oven if the recipe recommends it.
- Baking time will vary with the size, shape and finish of the bakeware. Dark metal pans or nonstick coatings will cook faster with darker results. Insulated bakeware will lengthen the cook time for most foods.
- For best results, bake food on a single rack with at least 1 1/2” space between pans or dishes and oven walls.
- Eliminate heat loss from the oven by using the window to periodically check food for doneness instead of opening the door.
Convection Bake
Convection Bake is similar to Bake. Heat comes from the upper and lower heating elements. The main difference in convection baking is that the heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.
The Convection Bake mode is well suited for cakes, bar cookies and breads to take advantage of the bottom heat, yielding a better crust on baked items.
The benefits of Convection Bake include:
- Slight decrease in cook time.
- Higher volume (yeast items rise higher).
Tips
- Reduce recipe temperature by 25° F if Auto Convection Conversion is not activated.
- Place food in shallow, uncovered pans such as a cookie sheet without sides.
- For cakes use rack positions 2 and 5.
- If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1” to 1 1/2” of air space around the pan. Stagger pans so that one is not directly above the other (see following graphic).
Auto Convection Conversion
Convection Bake and Convection Multi-Rack modes require a 25° F reduction in temperature. Auto Convection Conversion reduces the temperature you enter automatically. Simply enter the package or recipe temperature when setting the mode. The control calculates the correct temperature and it is shown in the display.
The Auto Convection Conversion feature can be turned off to allow for manual temperature adjustments. See “Auto Convection Conversion” in the Settings section for details.
Convection Multi-Rack
Convection Multi-Rack mode cooks with heat from a third element behind the back wall of the oven. The heat is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.
The Convection Multi-Rack mode is well suited for cooking individual serving-sized foods such as cookies and biscuits. it is also good for cooking on multiple racks (2 or 3) at the same time. Baking cookies is possible on 6 racks simultaneously. In this case, the baking time increases slightly.
The benefits of Multi-Rack include:
- Even browning.
- Time savings as a result of using multiple racks at one time.
Tips
- Reduce recipe temperature by 25° F if Auto Convection Conversion is not activated.
- Place food in low-sided, uncovered pans such as a cookie sheet without sides.
- If baking more than one pan on a rack, allow at least 1” to 1 1/2” of air space around the pan.
Pizza
In the Pizza mode, heat from the upper and lower elements is circulated throughout the oven by the convection fan.
Use the Pizza mode for fresh or frozen pizza.
Tips
- There might be a slight decrease in baking time. Check before minimum package time.
- When baking a frozen pizza: For a crispy crust, place pizza directly on the rack. For a softer crust, use a pizza pan.
- When proofing pizza dough, coat dough with olive oil and place it in a bowl tightly covered with plastic wrap to prevent crust formation.
- Sprinkle cornmeal on the pizza pan to prevent sticking.
- If using a pizza paddle, sprinkle the paddle liberally with cornmeal for ease in transferring the dough to the pan.
- If par baking handmade pizza dough, prick the dough with a fork before baking.
- If using a pizza pan, choose a dark, perforated pan for a more crisp crust and a non-perforated pan for a softer crust.
- Preheat baking stones following manufacturer’s recommendations while the oven is preheating.
- Bake homemade pizzas on rack position 2 in the center of the rack.
- Follow manufacturer’s directions for frozen pizza.
- The convection fan cycles on and off when using pizza mode.
Roast
Roast uses both the upper and lower elements to maintain the oven temperature. Roasting uses more intense heat from the upper element than the lower element. This results in more browning of the exterior while the inside remains especially moist.
Roast is best suited for meat and poultry and less tender cuts of meat.
Tips:
- Preheating the oven is not necessary.
- Use a high-sided broil pan or roasting pan. Cover dish with a lid or foil for less tender cuts of meat.
- For less tender cuts of meat, add liquids such as water, juice, wine, bouillon or stock for flavor and moisture.
- Roasting bags and using a lid are suitable for use in this mode.
- When roasting whole chicken or turkey, tuck wings behind back and loosely tie legs with kitchen string.
Convection Roast
Convection Roast uses heat from the top and bottom elements as well as heat circulated by the convection fan.
The Convection Roast mode is well suited for preparing tender cuts of meat and poultry. It is also suitable for roasting vegetables.
The benefits of Convection Roast include:
- As much as 25% faster cooking than non-convection modes.
- Rich, golden browning.
Tips:
- Preheating the oven is not necessary.
- Use the same temperature as indicated in the recipe.
- Check doneness early, since roasting time may decrease. Refer to the Meat/Poultry cooking chart for examples.
- Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.
- Use a broil pan with a rack and grid or a shallow, uncovered pan with a rack for roasting.
- Use a meat thermometer to determine the internal termperature of the meat.
- If the meat is browned to your liking, but is not yet done, a small strip of foil can be placed over the meat to prevent overbrowning.
- Let meat stand covered with foil for 10 to 15 minutes after removing it from the oven.
- Refer to the Meat/Poultry Cooking Chart for recommended rack positions.
Broil
Broil uses intense heat radiated from the upper element.
The Broil mode is best suited for cooking thin, tender cuts of meat (1" or less), poultry and fish. It can also be used to brown breads and casseroles. Always broil with the door closed.
The benefits of broiling include:
- Fast and efficient cooking.
- Cooking without the addition of fats or liquids.
Tips:
- Preheat oven 3–4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.
- Steaks and chops should be at least ¾" thick.
- Brush fish and poultry with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Use a broil pan and grid or a deep pan with a metal rack for broiling.
- Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering.
- Turn meats once during the recommended cook time. Fish does not need to be turned.
- When top browning casseroles, use only metal or glass ceramic dishes such as Corningware ®.
- Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex ®); it cannot tolerate the high temperature.
- For broil times, refer to the Meat/Poultry Cooking Chart.
Convection Broil
Convection Broil is similar to Broil. It combines intense heat from the upper element with heat circulated by a convection fan.
The Convection Broil mode is well suited for cooking thick, tender cuts of meat, poultry and fish. Convection Broil is not recommended for browning breads, casseroles and other foods. Always use convection broil with the door closed.
In addition to the benefits of standard broiling, convection broiling is faster.
Tips:
- Preheat oven 3–4 minutes. Do not preheat for more than 5 minutes.
- Steaks and chops should be at least 1 1/2" thick.
- Use a broil pan and grid or a deep pan with a metal rack for broiling.
- Do not cover the broil grid with foil. It is designed to drain fats and oils away from the cooking surface to prevent smoking and spattering.
- Turn meats once during the recommended cook time.
- Never use heat-proof glass (Pyrex ®); it cannot tolerate the high temperature.
- For Convection Broil times, refer to the Meat/Poultry Cooking Chart.
EcoChef
EcoChef uses residual heat to reduce energy consumption during cooking. The probe is always used to monitor internal food temperature and cook the food.
The mode is well suited for cooking tender cuts of meat and poultry. Always use EcoChef with the door closed.
Note:
- The probe must be inserted into the meat and plugged into the oven for EcoChef to operate.
- Food must be completely thawed before inserting the probe into the meat.
- Insert probe into the thickest part of the meat, not touching a bone or fat. For whole poultry, insert probe into the thickest part of the breast.
- Only foods and probe temperatures in the list of foods can be used for EcoChef.
- The maximum weight allowed is 12 pounds for turkey.
- Do not cover meat or use cooking bags.
- Refer to cooking chart for recommended rack position.
- After the oven has shut off and is in residual heat mode, keep the door closed. Opening the door will affect the overall cooking result of the meat.
- Use a potholder to remove the probe from the oven since it becomes hot.
- Let pork, beef and lamb stand covered with foil for 5-10 minutes after removing from the oven to reach serving temperature.
To set EcoChef:
- Insert the probe into the meat as described above.

Frozen Foods
Frozen Foods uses all heating elements as well as the convection fan to evenly distribute heat throughout the oven cavity. The main difference between Frozen Foods and other convection modes is that it does not require preheating.
Frozen Foods is well suited for frozen convenience foods such as fish sticks and chicken nuggets.
The benefits of Frozen Foods include:
- Decrease in cook time since preheating is not necessary.
- Crispy and evenly browned frozen foods.
- Begin cooking all frozen convenience products in a cold, non-preheated oven. The food will still be done in package time.
- Follow package instructions for time and temperature.
- Flipping of food halfway through recommended cook time is not necessary.
- Frozen foods that are sold in microwaveable plastic containers should not be used in this mode.
- Cook food items on rack position 3 unless directed otherwise by the product manufacturer.
- Evenly space food items on pan.
- For two rack baking, use positions 2 and 4.
Proof
In Proof, the oven uses the upper and lower elements to maintain a low temperature to proof bread or other yeast doughs.
- No preheat is necessary.
- Proofing is the rising of yeast dough.
- The Proof mode temperature range is 85° F to 110° F.
- The default temperature in the Proof mode is 100° F.
- Loosely cover the the bowl or pan and use any rack that accommodates the size of the container.
- Keep the oven door closed and use the oven light to check the rising of the dough.
Warm
In Warm, the upper and lower elements maintain a low temperature in the oven cavity in order to keep food at serving temperature.
- Use the Warm mode to keep cooked foods hot until ready to serve.
- Warm mode temperatures are 140° F to 220° F.
- The default temperature in the Warm mode is 170° F.
- Foods that must be kept moist should be covered with a lid or aluminum foil.
CAUTION: When using Warm mode, follow these guidelines:
- Do not use the Warm mode to heat cold food.
- Be sure to maintain proper food temperature.
The USDA recommends holding hot food at 140° F or warmer. - DO NOT warm food longer than one hour.
Cleaning and Maintenance
Cleaning
Self Clean
WARNING:
- Children should not be left alone or unattended in an area where appliances are in use. During the Self Clean cycle, parts of the appliance may become potentially harmful to persons who lack adult knowledge of appliances and adult reactions to potentially harmful conditions.
- During the elimination of soil during self-cleaning, small amounts of carbon monoxide can be created. Fiberglass insulation could give off very small amounts of formaldehyde during the first several cleansing cycles. To minimize exposure to these substances, provide good ventilation with an open window, or use a ventilation fan or hood.
During Self Clean, the oven is heated to a very high temperature. Soil is burned off at this temperature.
NOTICE:
- Wipe out excessive spillage before self-cleaning the oven.

Recommendations |
Flat Rack |
Wash with hot soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gently rub with cleansing powder or soap-filled pads as directed. DO NOT clean the rack in the self-cleaning oven. If flat racks are cleaned in the oven during the Self Clean mode, they will loose their shiny finish and may not glide smoothly. If this happens wipe the rack edges with a small amount of vegetable oil. Then wipe off excess. |
Telescopic Rack |
Wash with soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and dry, or gently rub with cleansing powder or soap-filled pads as directed. Avoid getting cleansing powder in the telescopic slides. Re-lubrication may become necessary. Use only high-temperature food-grade lubricants to re-lubricate slides. DO NOT clean the rack in the self-cleaning oven. DO NOT leave the rack in the oven during Self Clean. If the telescopic rack is cleaned in the oven during the Self Clean mode it will lose its shiny finish and will not glide smoothly. |

Maintenance
Replacing an Oven Light
WARNING:
- Make sure the appliance and lights are cool and power to the appliance has been turned off before replacing the light bulb(s). Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or burns.
- The lenses must be in place when using the appliance.
- The lenses serve to protect the light bulb from breaking.
- The lenses are made of glass. Handle carefully to avoid breaking. Broken glass could cause an injury.
- Light socket is live when door is open.
Replacing the halogen bulb on the oven sidewall:
Tools Required
Narrow flat blade screwdriver (blade tip width 1/5” (5mm) or less to fit in slot)
Flashlight (to see socket holes to plug in bulb prongs)
- Turn off power to the oven at the main power supply (fuse box or breaker box).
- Remove oven racks if necessary to provide access to the bulb housing.
- Optional: remove oven door to provide easier access and visibility.
- Insert the tip of a narrow flat blade screwdriver between the metal clips at about a 40° angle.
Hint: The screwdriver blade must be able to pass between the metal clips to reach the inner catch.
(A) Push the screwdriver blade inward to disengage the catch from the slot in the light housing.
Support the glass lens cover to prevent it from falling.
(B) Gently pry the lens off by moving the screwdriver handle away from the oven wall. The lens should detach easily. Do not attempt to force it.
- Pull the halogen bulb from its socket.
Hint: If it is difficult to grasp the bulb using one hand, use both forefingers to pinch behind the rounded part of the bulb, then pull the bulb out using both hands.
- Replace the halogen bulb. Grasp the new bulb with a clean, dry cloth. Align the bulb prongs with the socket holes and press into place.
Hint: Direct finger contact with the bulb may cause premature bulb failure.
- Put the glass cover back on by inserting it into the mounting clip and pressing the end nearest you into the housing until it locks into place.
- Turn power back on at the main power supply (fuse or breaker box).
Removing the Oven Door
WARNING: When removing the door:
- Make sure oven is cool and power to the oven has been turned off before removing the door. Failure to do so could result in electrical shock or burns.
- The oven door is heavy and parts of it are fragile. Use both hands to remove the oven door. The door front is glass. Handle carefully to avoid breakage.
- Grasp only the sides 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 that 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.
- Do not lay removed door on sharp or pointed objects as this could break the glass. Lay on a flat, smooth surface, positioned so that the door cannot fall over.
To remove the oven door:
To help avoid injury or damage be sure to read the above WARNING before attempting to remove the oven door.
- Open the oven door to its fully open, horizontal position.
- Flip levers on hinges toward you.
Note: It may be necessary to use a tool, such as a screwdriver, to gently pry the upper part of the lever away from the housing. Take care to avoid scratching the housing. - Bring both door hinge levers to their fullest down position as shown in the illustration. The left and right door hinges differ slightly but operate in the same manner.
- Close the oven door until it catches on the hinge stop levers, locking the hinges at the proper angle for door removal. The door will be open about 7 inches at the top. This takes the spring tension off the hinges so the door can be easily lifted out.
- The door is heavy.
Use both hands to firmly grip it by the sides. Do not grip the door by the handle. Maintaining the door angle, lift the door straight up approximately 3/4" to unhook the hinges from the slots and then pull it out towards you until the hinges are clear of the oven housing.
- Place the door in a convenient and stable location for cleaning.
To replace the oven door:
- Holding the door firmly in both hands, grip it on either side, not by the handle.
- Tilt the door back slightly towards you until it opens about 7" at the top.
- Slide the hinges into the slots as far as they will go and then lower the door straight down. The angle of the door may need to be adjusted slightly to allow the hinges to engage properly and the door to lower into place. The door should lower about 3/4" and stop. If not, the hinges have not engaged properly and the door could fall if it is released.
- Once both hinges are fully engaged as described in Step 3, gently open the door until it is fully open.
- 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.
- Close and open door slowly to be sure it is correctly and securely in place.
