Open door to about 15~20 degree angle, pull up on door and totally remove from stove. Lay face down on flat surface. Now can access all screws to separate the inner and outer panels and to replace the glass. To return to stove, use locking pliers to pull the door hinge stubs out to their 15 degree open position, slide door on and close.
If glass not broken, just can't see through, no need to remove door or glass. Use glass cooktop cleaner, apply and let soak 3 minutes, then use new single edge razor in holder to shave off the baked on grease. May have to repeat 3x then switch to glass cleaner and clean again 3x, should be quite clean and clear unless seal has failed on the double pane thermal glass and internally obscured in which case the only cure is to replace the glass... return to paragraph 1.
This is tricky if not done in correct order real easy to break the plastic door frame I will try an explain best I can there is a vent cover between MW door and oven door remove on the MW bottom frame there is a tab on each side with a small screw remove screws you can now pull MW forward won't move very far now the plastic piece that connects to door look up at bottom remove these 2 screws it will be at an angle I use a small speed wrench with a phillips bit okay all this is loose now open the MW door towards top there are 2 holes inside each is a phillips screw use a skinny screw driver hold the door tight it is spring load the frame part with glass will try to slam forward door should now be free usually only one spring is broken change both they are not the same different part numbers take a picture first before trying to remove you will eventually figure out that you have to put in hole at one end and thread thru to the other end then twist in place to lock now be careful if you slip real easy to break inner glass once you figure all this out put the door back in the exact opposite order starting with the door screws first you will now find out the door has a high spring load i usually mate the door to the frame and secure with tape after door is on then do the 2 screws on bottom of plastic frame do the sequence backwards you will break this piece, best i can do yes a lot work but remember I do this about 3 times a week I suggest you think about paying an appliance repair company to do this reason being that plastic piece i keep harping on is roughly 100.00 to replace which negates most savings by doing it your self hopes this helps good luck

I also report testimonials for your model:
"removed the door from the
oven by releasing clips attached to the door hinge -- very nicely
engineered. Removed about 6 philips head screws to allow the door
assembly to be taken apart for access to the glass. Lifted out the
broken glass, cleaned the inside of the door, installed the new glass,
reassembled the door (a two minute project), and reattached the door to
the oven. Cleaning the inside of the door"
"I removed the oven door by
lifting it off with the hinges. Disassembled the door parts one at time
making sure I remember where I removed the screws until I am able to
get to the broken glass. The most difficult part is making sure that
the insulation strip & the gasket stayed in place after I replaced
the broken glass & doing the reverse process of installing the
parts together. Relatively easy process as long as you remember where
the parts go. When in doubt, I had to refer to the pictorial of the
disassembled door shown on your website."
