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.
Placing the Oven Into the Cabinet

to protect hands and forearms from abrasion and 
potential scratches during the lifting processIt 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
