Installation Procedure
This procedure explains how to install the G3430- 68640 Removable Oven
Door Accessory on an Agilent 7890 Series Gas Chromatograph (GC).
Prepare the GC
1Cool down the detectors, inlets, and oven.
2Turn off the GC and disconnect the power cord.
3Turn off the source gases.
4If necessary, remove any automatic liquid sampler (ALS) devices and
disconnect any transfer lines from your GC inlets. Refer to your
relevant instrument documentation for details.
5Remove any mounting posts from the inlet top cover.
WARNING
The GC zones may be hot. Cool the GC before beginning. Wear heat-resistant
gloves when handling hot parts.
Turn off detector and hazardous gases.
CAUTION
To prevent damage to the GC columns, remove them from the GC.

Remove the oven door
There are two different methods for removing the oven door from the GC.
Try the steps in “Pulling the door hinge rod up using needle nose pliers”
on page 4 first. If it is not possible to do, skip to “Pushing the door hinge
rod up using a flat head screwdriver” on page 6.
Pulling the door hinge rod up using needle nose pliers
1Once the oven has cooled to ambient temperature, open the oven door
enough so that the door hinge rod is easily accessible.
2Using needle nose pliers, grip the rod as shown in Figure 2, then pull
up on the rod and hold.

WARNING
To prevent personal injury, take care to adequately support the door using both
hands or a second person. Failure to properly support the door could cause it to
fall.

3While continuing to hold the rod up, use a T- 20 Torx driver at the top
of the rod (Figure 3) to rotate and engage the rod’s lower threads in
the lower door flange. Once the threads are engaged, you can stop
holding the rod with pliers.

4Continue to unscrew the rod using the T- 20 Torx driver, and remove it
from the GC. Be sure to hold the door when removing the rod to avoid
dropping the door.

Pushing the door hinge rod up using a flat head screwdriver
1Carefully slide the GC so that the front- right corner extends over an
edge of the work bench and allows for access to the underside of the
GC (see Figure 4). Be wary of gas lines, the power cable, and any other
attachments and nearby instruments when moving the GC.
Figure 4 GC front-right corner extended over edge of work bench
2Once the oven has cooled to ambient temperature, open the oven door.
3From the underside of the GC (Figure 5), use a flat head screwdriver to
push the rod up while rotating to engage the rod’s lower threads in the
lower door flange. Once engaged, you can stop pushing up on the rod
from below.

4From the top of the rod, use a T- 20 Torx driver to completely unscrew
the rod and remove it from the GC. Be sure to hold the door when
removing the rod to avoid dropping the door.
5Remove the oven door from the GC.

bSqueeze the hook plate (with its flange pointed up and to the left)
and base plate (with its flange pointed down and to the right)
together, then slide it beneath the door bracket and inside the
instrument base, as shown in Figure 7.

cOnce in place, use a T- 20 Torx driver to tighten the M4 screw. This
will rotate and latch the hook plate to the instrument base as shown
in Figure 8.

2Install the flange support spacer to the base plate on the underside of
the lower oven door bracket. Lower the flange support spacer (with
threaded opening facing down) into the location shown in Figure 9,
then slide the flange support spacer under the flange to the front- left
corner, as shown in Figure 10. If needed, gently pry the lower door
bracket up when positioning the flange support spacer. Note the side of
the flange support spacer overhangs the plastic casing and fits evenly
against the inside corner of the plastic casing (Figure 10).

3Insert the lower oven door pin into the oven door bracket and flange
support opening as shown in Figure 11. Thread the door pin all the
way through the oven bracket’s lower flange, then apply some
downward force to insert it through the flange support and base plate.
Thread the door pin into in the flange support until tight.

Note that the pin may appear slightly canted. This does not affect the door
functionality.

4Install the removable door to the GC using both hands.
aLower the bottom hinge of the oven door onto the lower pin so that
the pin passes through the lower door hinge. Carefully let the door
drop over the pin to the lower oven bracket (Figure 12).
