Quick answer
Replacing the handles on your Gozney Tread is a straightforward job with the official Tread Handle Replacement Kit. You'll need a Torx key (included), a clean workspace, and about 15 minutes. Follow the steps below to remove the old handles and secure the new ones without overtightening.
What's in the kit and what you'll need
The Tread Handle Replacement Kit includes two handles, two Torx keys, washers, and screws. These are the same parts that come with your Tread oven, so if your original handles are lost or damaged, this kit restores full function. You won't need any extra tools beyond what's in the kit, though a soft cloth and a stable work surface help prevent scratches.
Before you start: safety and preparation
Make sure your Tread oven is completely cool and disconnected from any fuel source. Work on a flat, non-abrasive surface like a towel or cardboard to protect the oven's finish. If you're unsure whether this kit fits your model, check your product manual first—the Tread Handle Replacement Kit is designed specifically for the Tread.
Step-by-step handle replacement
- Remove the old handles: Use the Torx key from the kit to unscrew the existing screws holding each handle. Support the handle as you remove the last screw to prevent it from dropping. Keep the old screws and washers aside—you won't reuse them, but they can help you confirm you've removed all hardware.
- Clean the mounting points: Wipe the area where the handles attach to remove any grease, ash, or debris. A clean surface ensures the new handles sit flush and screws tighten smoothly. Don't skip this step—debris can prevent a secure fit and may cause wobbling.
- Attach the new handles: Place a washer on each screw, then align the new handle with the mounting holes. Hand-tighten the screws using the Torx key until snug. Avoid overtightening; you can strip the threads or crack the handle. Tighten until the handle feels firm with no play.
- Check alignment and function: Gently lift the oven by the handles to test stability. If the handles shift, tighten the screws a quarter-turn more. Make sure both handles are level and symmetrical. If a handle still moves, remove it and check that the washer is correctly seated.
- Final tighten and cleanup: Once satisfied with the fit, give each screw a final snug turn. Wipe away any fingerprints and store the extra Torx key in a safe place for future maintenance. You're done—enjoy a secure grip on your Tread oven.
