Using this hinge is straightforward. First, make sure your oven is turned off and cooled down. Then, remove the old hinge from the grill door and replace it with this new one. Align the holes properly and use the appropriate tools to secure it in place. When installing, be careful not to force the hinge as it may damage the door or the hinge itself. As for maintenance, it's a good idea to check the hinge regularly for any signs of wear or looseness. You can clean it with a mild detergent and a soft cloth to keep it in good condition. If you notice any issues like the door not closing well again, it might be time to give us a call.
