Using this oven door hinge is straightforward. First, make sure your oven is turned off and cooled down. Then, remove the old hinge by following the oven's user manual. Usually, it involves unscrewing a few screws. Once the old hinge is out, place the new hinge in its position and screw it back in tightly. Ensure it's firmly attached so the oven door works smoothly. As for maintenance, keep the hinge clean. You can use a soft cloth and a mild cleaner to wipe away any dirt or grease. Avoid using abrasive materials as they can damage the hinge. If you notice any unusual noises or if the door doesn't close properly after installation, check the hinge's tightness. If the problem persists, contact us. Remember, if you're unsure about anything during the process, don't hesitate to reach out with your oven's model number.
