Gasket with embedded wire frame secured to a mounting clip

A method for attaching a gasket to a mounting base comprising either an oven door or an oven-door strike surface for abutting a closed oven door, the mounting base having a plurality of mounting receptacles disposed to secure the gasket to the mounting surface in a mounting configuration, comprising:

• aligning the gasket with the mounting configuration, the gasket comprising:
• a gasket body, the gasket body being tubular and elongated and having a gasket core and a jacket disposed radially outwardly from and surrounding the gasket core, with the gasket core being elongated and surrounding a hollow body interior, the hollow body interior being elongated;
• a frame disposed within the hollow body interior and extending along the hollow body interior, the frame defining a shape alignable with the mounting configuration, with the frame being elongated and spaced from the gasket core to be radially movable within the hollow body interior to allow limited radial movement of the gasket body with respect to the shape by allowing radial movement of the frame within the hollow body interior, and
• a plurality of spring clips attached to the gasket body, the plurality of spring clips extending radially outwardly from the gasket body and located and configured to engage the plurality of mounting receptacles of the mounting surface in the mounting configuration;
• and
• engaging the plurality of spring clips with the plurality of mounting receptacles in the mounting configuration wherein engaging the plurality of spring clips with the plurality of mounting receptacles comprises moving the gasket body relative to the frame to position at least one spring clip of the plurality of spring clips for engagement with at least one mounting receptable of the plurality of mounting receptacles.
