Remove Princess Oven Door

We have a Princess gimballed 3-burner propane oven/stove. The metal trim at the top and bottom of the oven door need to be stripped and repainted.

But, for the life of me, I can't figure out how the door comes off. There are no visible screws, bolts, or nuts anywhere that seems close to the hinge assembly. There are two screws kind of deep underneath that are hard to get to. These might hold on a piece of trim that, when removed, will reveal all secrets. But, these aren't budging easily so I didn't want to use a screw extractor on them only to find out that the door simply pops off by pushing in a tab or something simple.

Does anyone know how this comes off?

It seems like it should be obvious. And, it seems like I would be able to find a parts/service manual that shows this or gives some clues, but I haven't had any luck with that, yet.

Had a similar one under a different name… slightly open the door, then lift at the hinge. It should slide out nicely. As per page 12 of the manual items 21 & 22?
Good Luck.

I replaced our door trim and removed the door several times, but don't remember all of the details. To remove the door, you need to take off the two springs holding it in by the bottom latches, then it will lift out. I think I remember the trim just being screwed onto the door. There is an inner and outer part to the door.

Yeah, it's possible you don't have to remove the spring, but just lift the latch off the door to remove. I'm a bit hazy on that.
