Hinge Pin Information:

A hinge pin, part number 803273, is provided for each oven door of all Legacy Dual Fuel Range Ovens.

• The hinge pin is in a small white envelope packed in the installation guide package.
• If a replacement hinge pin is needed, contact a Factory Certified Parts Distributor to order parts.

Hinge pins are required for proper oven door removal.

• Failure to use the hinge pin to remove an oven door may result in damage to the unit.
• If the oven door was removed without the use of the hinge pin, contact Factory Certified Service to repair the product.

Materials Required:

• Phillips head screwdriver
• Flat head screwdriver
• Hinge pin

Oven Door Removal:

1. Open the door to its fully opened position.
2. Insert the hinge pin through the hole in the appropriate hinge arm. 
   
   
3. Remove the screw and the retainer clip from the hinge cover. 
   • NOTE: On units with a new style single hinge retainer plate, as shown down below, it will require the removal of the skirt before door removal.
   • The new style single retainer plate will stay with the door during removal once the two screws that secure the retainer plate are removed. 
     
     
4. Close the oven door to about a 60° angle from the horizontal. 
5. Lift up on the door while continuing to pull the door away from the unit. 
   • For 48-inch and 60-inch units, complete this procedure for both the left and right oven doors.

Oven Door Installation:

1. Determine what style of hinge retainer is on the unit.
   • On units with a new style single hinge retainer plate, install the single hinge retainer onto the hinge claw before installing door.
   • If replacing old style hinge retainer with new style, you will need to drill a 9/64” hole for the lower screw once door is installed and before installing skirt.
   • CAUTION: Failure to install the bottom screw will lead to future failure. The hole must be drilled and used to secure the bracket.
2. Fully extend hinge claw of hydraulic damper hinge.
3. Hold oven door on opposite sides, lift door until the hinges are aligned with the hinge openings in the oven frame.
4. Insert hinge claw of hydraulic damper hinge into hinge pocket before inserting the spring side hinge.
5. Position door in hinge openings at a 30° angle from vertical.
6. Insert spring side hinge into hinge pocket.
7. Lower door to fully opened position and remove hinge pin.
8. Install plate and screw over hinge opening.
9. Open and close door to make sure it is properly installed.
