Remove the door and replace the glass - instructions and precautions

After long use, the built-in oven and glass door must be thoroughly washed. Cleaning must be carried out not only externally, but also inside, since dirt and grease can get under the glass. In order to wash, we need to remove it. And for this you need to remove the door.

Why might you need to remove the door?

1. Long use of the oven. If the oven has been used for several years, dirt and grease will enter and remain on the back of the glass.
2. Violation of technological processes during the manufacture of a gas furnace. If the glass has been taut, cracks may appear.
3. Damage during transportation. Even telescopic cracks can cause damage.
4. Mounting error.
5. Glass may burst if the oven inside is warmed up, and externally cold water gets on it.

You can carry out the replacement yourself. Glass should be bought in special stores.

Withdrawal process

Almost anyone can disassemble it. You do not need to buy special devices. For this:

1. Open the oven door.
2. Find the loops. This is the mount. There are pens on them. They need to be lifted and pushed to themselves.
3. Take the door, point it up and pull it horizontally to detach it from the case. It is heavy enough, so you should be careful not to drop it.
4. The door is removed. Then lay it on a soft, even surface to avoid damage and scratches.
5. You can start parsing the door.

Glass removal

After you remove the door, you can begin to remove the glass. In modern furnaces, two or three glasses are mounted. The second glass is usually attached to the body. To remove it is quite simple. It was necessary to remove the door for safe and convenient cleaning. If the door is not removed from the hinges, there is a risk that it will slam and a person will be injured.

For the following oven models, instructions are given on how to remove the glass and wash it:

1. Bosch
2. Samsung
3. Electrolux
4. Ariston
5. Gorenje.
6. Zanussi.

Do not put too much pressure on the glass. If the force is exceeded, it can be damaged.

To remove the glass, we need:

1. Lay the door handle down on a smooth and soft surface.
2. Pay attention to the presence of bolts in the door. If they are, unscrew them. If they are missing, start moving from the bottom up. An open door looks like a laptop. Bolts may not be available on some oven models. But the movement of the structure up does not depend on the type of model.
3. Now the glass part is free. It needs to be lifted up and pulled out.
4. You can start cleaning the glass.
5. After cleaning, put the glass where it was. Please note that there are special trims on the sides.
6. We fix all fasteners.
7. Set back into the oven.

It doesn’t matter which glass you need to remove - external or internal. In both cases, you must follow the steps above. Fastenings for both glasses are inside.

If you cannot clean the glass, you can contact the professionals.

How to remove the loop?

Loops need to be removed in two cases:

1. The door opens too tight.
2. The door does not close completely.

The hinges are removed in the same way as when removing the door. But you have to unscrew a few additional mounts. At run time, the design will be divided into several parts.In one of them are loops.

The oven may not open or close well for the following reasons:

1. The loops are clogged or broken.
2. Too compressed or extended spring.
3. Too much garbage.

For Bosch brand ovens, a spring is placed on both sides.

In order not to break the hinges when cleaning the doors, the following rules must be observed:

1. Loosen and remove the loops slowly, because if you do not calculate the force, the parts may break.
2. Before removing the hinges, make sure that all screws have been removed. If there is one, the fasteners can bend, and then you have to change them.
3. Do not use force when separating doors or glass. Companies make ovens so that all of its parts can be removed without problems. If you feel resistance, most likely you are doing something wrong.

How can I clean the door and glass structure?

Not all detergents are suitable for glass in the oven. Powders can cause cracks. Therefore, it is better to make a solution. Using soda, you can cook it yourself:

1. Take a spray bottle and pour two cups of warm water into it, add a little liquid soap. Mix the composition with half a teaspoon of soda. Spray liquid onto glass. After 30-40 minutes, wash the glass in warm water.
2. Take soda. Add a little water so that the mixture is thick. Apply to a dirty place. This method has a drawback - you have to wait a few hours, and only then wash the mixture from the glass.
3. Take a baking powder, which includes soda and citric acid. Sprinkle the mixture over contaminated areas. Wait 1-2 hours. This cleaning method is very effective against fat. He begins to gather in small lumps that are easy to clean with a soapy rag or washcloth.
4. Alcohol-based products are also suitable for cleaning.
5. Vinegar effectively fights fat. Mix two tablespoons per liter of water.

Precautionary measures

1. The glass is slippery, so you must be careful when cleaning it.
2. Be careful with the mounts. If you use force when removing the door, they can be damaged.
3. The door is quite heavy. Therefore, it is desirable that two people take it off.
4. Do not use powders or chemicals to clean materials.
5. If you used an oven before cleaning the glass, you should wait until it cools down inside.
6. You can use rubber gloves when cleaning.

Conclusion.

Analysis of the design is only necessary if you need to clean the glass or replace parts. It is simple, and almost anyone can do it. But you must be very careful when separating the door and glass, so as not to damage the fasteners and not harm yourself. Most ovens are sold with instructions that describe how to remove glass and how to clean it.
