2. Tilt the door back slightly towards you at an angle that would open the door about 7″ (18 cm) at the top.

3. Slide the hinges into the slots as far as they will go and 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 be lowered into place. The door should lower about
   3/4″ (2 cm) and stop. If it does not, the hinges have not engaged properly and the door could fall if it is released.

4. Once both hinges are fully engaged, gently open the door until it is fully open.

5. Push the levers on both the hinges up and forward until they are locked into the slot and flush with the front of the oven body.
   

6. Close and open the door slowly to be sure it is correctly and securely in place.

Testing the operation

Check if your unit is working properly after you have completed the installation steps.

1. Turn on power at the breaker.
2. To test the oven select the BAKE mode. See the User Manual for detailed operating instructions.
3. Verify that the oven light comes on and the oven begins to preheat.
4. To test the door lock set the SELF CLEAN mode. Con-firm that the door locks when the lock icon appears in the display.
