Door Latch Adjustment
Should the cooker door jam and can not be opened,
DO NOT FORCE OR PRY
the door as damage will
occur.
First, try lifting up on the bottom of the door at the
handle end to disengage the latch. If that does not
work, remove the right side panel.
The striker that catches on the door latch is located
behind the front face of the cooking cavity. Remove
the nut from the striker and this will release it from
the panel.
Once the nut and washer have been removed, door
will open freely.
Remove any burrs on the striker that may cause the
latch to stick. Reinstall the striker and adjust, so
door will not jam.
To adjust:
1. Reinstall the striker with the slot pointing
upwards and hand tighten nut only.
2. Close the door to center the striker in the oval
mounting hole.
3. Open the door and check the strikers’ slot for
horizontal alignment. The slot on the striker
must be kept horizontal in order for the door
latch to catch it properly and latch.
4. Once the proper slot alignment has been set,
hold the striker close to its base using a rag and
vise grips, then tighten the striker nut. Be
careful not to damage the striker slot when
tightening or door may not latch properly.
NOTE:
Do not over tighten as the striker will begin
to turn and change alignment.
