Steps:

  1. Tilt the door into the open position and pull straight up and away from the rest of the oven.
  2. It may take some wiggling in a side to side motion to remove the door, but it is not affixed to the oven with fasteners.

  16. The serviceable components of the oven are now accessible.
  17. This reveals the other sides of the heating elements, the timer and thermostat circuitry, as well as the main power input.
  18. The oven pulls an estimated 1150w at full draw. There are no fuses or safety mechanisms.
  19. The timer knob functions as an on-off switch to the rest of the oven. There is no variability to the amount of current flowing through the elements, they are either on or off, controlled by the bimetal thermostat above the timer knob. See the schematic PDF for more information.
