MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS (continued)
C. HINGE ADJUSTMENT
1. The hinges provide the pivot for the door, allow for height
adjustment and alignment so that the door closes properly on
the gasket.
2. To access the hinge adjustments:
a. Remove the grease tray. Remove the upper trim panel
by removing the four screws at the ends of the panel.
The trim panel / grease tray support assembly will then
pull straight out.
b. Remove the bottom trim panel by removing the four
screws at the ends of the panel, and by loosening the
two screws holding the bottom door gasket. The panel
will then pull straight out.
3. The door should be approximately centered between the upper
and lower lips of the cabinet. Adjust the door for height:
a. The hinge sleeve acts as a jam nut for the height
adjuster.
b. The top and bottom clearances should be approximately
equal. If necessary, loosen the hinge sleeve and turn
the height adjustment nut until the required clearances
are achieved.
c. Retighten the hinge sleeve.
4. Check fore-and-aft adjustment in two places on the hinge-side
of the door. Use a piece of paper (such as a dollar bill) between
the inner surface of the door and the door gasket. The paper
should be definitely held, but should be able to be pulled out
with just a slight drag.
5. To adjust a top or bottom hinge:
a. Loosen the holding bolts.
b. Tighten or loosen the adjusting bolt as needed to achieve
the proper vertical clearances.
c. Retighten the holding bolts.
d. Recheck the clearances. Recheck the tightness of the
bolts.
6. Reassemble the trim panels. Remember to retighten the screws
for the lower gasket
