Safety Information
Always prioritize safety when working with appliances. Disconnect power to the oven before attempting any installation or maintenance. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, such as gloves, if necessary. If you are unsure about any step, consult a qualified technician.

Setup and Installation
This section guides you through the process of replacing your oven handle.
Tools Required:
- Screwdriver (appropriate type for your oven's handle screws)
- Gloves (recommended)
Installation Steps:
- Prepare the Oven: Ensure the oven is turned off and completely cool. Disconnect the oven from its power supply at the main circuit breaker.
- Remove Old Handle: Locate the screws securing the existing handle to the oven door. These are typically found on the inside edge of the oven door or at the ends of the handle mounts. Carefully unscrew them.
- Detach Old Handle: Once the screws are removed, gently pull the old handle away from the oven door. It may require a slight wiggle to free it from its mounting points.
- Inspect Mounting Points: Clean any debris or residue from the handle mounting points on the oven door.
- Position New Handle: Align the new De Dietrich Oven Handle (Model 77X2761) with the mounting holes on the oven door.
- Secure New Handle: Insert the screws through the handle and into the mounting holes. Tighten the screws firmly but do not overtighten, as this could damage the handle or door.
- Test Handle: Gently pull on the new handle to ensure it is securely attached and does not wobble.
- Restore Power: Reconnect the oven to its power supply at the circuit breaker.
Usage
The De Dietrich Oven Handle is designed for opening and closing your oven door. To ensure its longevity and proper function:
- Always use the handle for its intended purpose.
- Avoid applying excessive force or hanging objects from the handle.

Maintenance
Regular cleaning and inspection will help maintain the appearance and functionality of your oven handle.
- Cleaning: Wipe the handle regularly with a soft, damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads, as these can damage the finish.

Troubleshooting
