Thermador C271 Service Manual - Caution
REMOVING THE OVEN DOOR GASKET
Figure 31
Refer to Figure 31 for the following steps.
1.
Open the oven door to its fully open posi-
tion.
2.
Pull the ends of the old gasket out of the
holes in the door (see inset 1 on the illus-
tration).
3.
Working from one end of the gasket to the
other, carefully pull the clips that are at-
tached to the gasket out of the holes in the
oven door (see inset 2 on the illustration).
4.
Position the new fiberglass gasket around
the oven door so that the clips are near
the holes.
5.
Working from one end of the gasket to the
other, insert the gasket clips into the holes
in the oven door. NOTE: Once inserted,
gently pull on the clip to make sure that it
is locked into place.
6.
Using the eraser end of a pencil, push the
ends of the gasket fully into the holes in
the oven door.
7.
Check the entire gasket to make sure that
all of the clips are properly inserted, and
that it is flush and even with the surface
of the door.
8.
Close the oven door and check to make
sure that the gasket fits firmly and evenly
with the front of the oven.
When you work on the oven, be careful
when handling the sheet metal parts. There
are sharp edges present and you can cut
yourself if you are not careful.
CAUTION
CAUTION: Before you replace the fiberglass
gasket on the oven door, make sure that the
oven control is turned OFF, and that the oven
is cool.
