into slots at the bottom corners of the door. To put the door back on, fit
both bottom corners of the door over the ends of the hinges. Push the
door down evenly, so neither comer gets ahead of the other. When it
reaches the bottom. you can close the door. A safety latch will hold the
door open until it is on correctly.
Removing the outer oven window:
If your oven door has a window
instead of the full-width black
glass,

frame and glass are one piece, so don’t worry about them
coming apart.)

the bottom of the window opening.
To replace the frame and glass, line up the bottom of the frame
with the opening in the door.

window opening.

Pull it straight out until it stops. Lift the front and pull some more to get it
over the stop. Now slide it out until it stops again. Lift the drawer away
from the range until it slips out of the guides.
To put it back, fit the side rails at the back of the drawer into both
guides on the range. Push it closed while lifting the front to get past the
