Using this oven hinge is straightforward. First, make sure your oven is turned off and cooled down. Then, remove the old hinge by following the steps in your oven's manual. Usually, it involves unscrewing a few bolts. Next, attach the new hinge in the same position as the old one, making sure the 'Y' and 'S' markings are in the right orientation. Screw it in tightly. When it comes to maintenance, it's a good idea to check the hinge regularly for any signs of wear. If you notice the door not closing smoothly, give the hinge a little lubrication with a suitable oil. As for safety, always remember to disconnect the power supply before working on the oven. If you're still not sure about anything during installation or maintenance, don't hesitate to contact us.
